The Elastic distribution can be further configured using advanced settings when
you need complete control of its behaviour. Configuration can be achieved by setting environment variables,
using the `IConfiguration` integration, or manually configuring the Elastic distribution.

=== Environment variables
## Environment variables

The Elastic distribution can be configured using environment variables. This is a cross-platform
way to configure the Elastic distribution and is especially useful in containerized environments.

Environment variables are read at startup and can be used to configure the Elastic distribution.
For details of the various options available and their corresponding environment variable names,
see <<configuration-options>>.
For details of the various options available and their corresponding environment variable names,
see [configuration otpions](#configuration_options).

Environment variables always take precedence over configuration provided by the `IConfiguration`
system.

=== IConfiguration integration

In applications that use the "host" pattern, such as ASP.NET Core and worker service, the Elastic
In applications that use the "host" pattern, such as ASP.NET Core and worker service, the Elastic
distribution can be configured using the `IConfiguration` integration. This is done by passing an
`IConfiguration` instance to the `AddElasticOpenTelemetry` extension method on the `IServiceCollection`.

When using an `IHostApplicationBuilder` such as modern ASP.NET Core applications, the current `IConfiguration`
can be accessed via the `Configuration` property on the builder.

[source,csharp]
----
```csharp
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var currentConfig = builder.Configuration; <1>
----
<1> Access the current `IConfiguration` instance from the builder.
var currentConfig = builder.Configuration; [^1]

By default, at this stage, the configuration will be populated from the default configuration sources,
including the `appsettings.json` file(s) and command-line arguments. You may use these sources to define
the configuration for the Elastic distribution.

For example, you can define the configuration for the Elastic distribution in the `appsettings.json` file:

[source,json]
----
```json
{
"Elastic": {
"OpenTelemetry": {
"FileLogDirectory": "C:\\Logs" <1>
"FileLogDirectory": "C:\\Logs" [^1]
}
}
}
----
<1> This example sets the file log directory to `C:\Logs` which enables diagnostic file logging.
```
[^1]: This example sets the file log directory to `C:\Logs` which enables diagnostic file logging.

Configuration from the "Elastic:OpenTelemetry" section of the `IConfiguration` instance will be

In all other scenarios, configuration can be achieved manually in code. This is done by creating
