AgentExtension (javaagent-extension-api 1.3.1 API)

All Superinterfaces:

Ordered
```
public interface AgentExtension
extends Ordered
```
An AgentExtension provides a way to modify/enrich the OpenTelemetry Javaagent behavior. It can be an InstrumentationModule or a completely custom implementation. Because an extension can heavily modify the javaagent's behavior extreme caution is advised.
This is a service provider interface that requires implementations to be registered in a provider-configuration file stored in the META-INF/services resource directory.
