   One of either `AGGREGATION_TEMPORALITY_CUMULATIVE` or `AGGREGATION_TEMPORALITY_DELTA`.
-- `namespace`: Defines the namespace of the generated metrics. If `namespace` provided, generated metric name will be added `namespace.` prefix.
+- `namespace` (default: `traces.span.metrics`): Defines the namespace of the generated metrics. If `namespace` provided, generated metric name will be added `namespace.` prefix.
 - `metrics_flush_interval` (default: `60s`): Defines the flush interval of the generated metrics.
 - `metrics_expiration` (default: `0`): Defines the expiration time as `time.Duration`, after which, if no new spans are received, metrics will no longer be exported. Setting to `0` means the metrics will never expire (default behavior).
 - `metric_timestamp_cache_size` (default `1000`): Only relevant for delta temporality span metrics. Controls the size of the cache used to keep track of a metric's TimestampUnixNano the last time it was flushed. When a metric is evicted from the cache, its next data point will indicate a "reset" in the series. Downstream components converting from delta to cumulative, like `prometheusexporter`, may handle these resets by setting cumulative counters back to 0.

   - `dimensions`: (mandatory if `enabled`) the list of the span's event attributes to add as dimensions to the events metric, which will be included _on top of_ the common and configured `dimensions` for span and resource attributes.
 - `resource_metrics_key_attributes`: Filter the resource attributes used to produce the resource metrics key map hash. Use this in case changing resource attributes (e.g. process id) are breaking counter metrics.
 
+The feature gate `connector.spanmetrics.legacyMetricNames` (disabled by default) controls the connector to use legacy metric names.

 ## Examples
 
 The following is a simple example usage of the `spanmetrics` connector.
