-## Configuration Examples <a id="config_example"></a>
+## Matching operations
 
-Here is a basic configuration example.
+The Metrics Selector processor has two matching operations: prefix matching and substring matching.
+
+### Prefix matching
+
+Prefix matching compares the value of `metric_name` to the beginning of each incoming metric name. For example, `metric_name: fluentbit_input` results in a match for metrics named `fluentbit_input_records`, but not for metrics named `total_fluentbit_input`.
+
+If no `operation_type` value is specified and the value of `metric_name` is a standard string, the Metrics Selector processor defaults to prefix matching.
+
+### Substring matching
+
+Substring matching treats the value of `metric_name` as a regex pattern, and compares this pattern against each incoming metric name accordingly. This pattern can appear anywhere within the name of the incoming metric. For example, `metric_name: bytes` results in a match for metrics named `bytes_total` and metrics named `input_bytes_count`.
+
+If the value of `metric_name` is a string wrapped in forward slashes (for example, `metric_name: /storage..*/`), the Metrics Selector processor defaults to substring matching, regardless of whether an `operation_type` value is specified. This means that a `metric_name` value wrapped in forward slashes will always use substring matching, even if `operation_type` is set to `PREFIX`.
+
+However, if `operation_type` is explicitly set to `SUBSTRING`, you don't need to wrap the value of `metric_name` in forward slashes.

-All processors are only valid with the YAML configuration format. 
-Processor configuration should be located under the relevant input or output plugin configuration.
-
-Metric\_Name parameter will translate the strings which is quoted with backslashes `/.../` as Regular expressions.
-Without them, users need to specify Operation\_Type whether prefix matching or substring matching.
-The default operation is prefix matching.
-For example, `/chunks/` will be translated as a regular expression.
