Description
Currently the parameters are evaluated in the order docs
Command line args are loaded first, then config file, then environment variables.
I would suggest to invert it.
First Environment, then config and finally command line args as this makes overriding the values easier and supports understandability.
Example:
In your .bashrc you have:
export OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TIMEOUT=72h
and when calling you use:
otel-cli span background --timeout 1s &
It is surprising now that it blocks for a long time. To actually have the timeout be 1s you must:
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TIMEOUT= otel-cli span background --timeout 1s &
and this becomes actually impossible if it is set in the config file as you would need to edit the file.
