Component

Config

Problem Statement

As per the spec:

Setting the OTEL_EXPERIMENTAL_CONFIG_FILE environment variable (for languages that support it) provides users a convenient way to initialize OpenTelemetry components without needing to learn language-specific configuration details or use a large number of environment variables. The pattern for accessing the configured components and installing into instrumentation will vary by language. For example, the usage in Java might resemble:

Proposed Solution

Open to suggestions of how this should be implemented to align w/ the rest of the Go SDK implementation
