 However, the current SDK API does not allow to modify span attributes on span end, so we have to
 introduce other components to make it work as expected.
 
+## Usage
+
+This extension does not support autoconfiguration because it needs to wrap the `SimpleSpanExporter`
+or `BatchingSpanProcessor` that invokes the `SpanExporter`.
+
+As a consequence you have to use [Manual SDK setup](#manual-sdk-setup)
+section below to configure it.
+
+### Manual SDK setup
+
+Here is an example registration of `StackTraceSpanProcessor` to capture stack trace for all
+the spans that have a duration >= 1000 ns. The spans that have an `ignorespan` string attribute
+will be ignored.
+
+```java
+InMemorySpanExporter spansExporter = InMemorySpanExporter.create();
+SpanProcessor exportProcessor = SimpleSpanProcessor.create(spansExporter);
+
+Predicate<ReadableSpan> filterPredicate = readableSpan -> {
+  if(readableSpan.getAttribute(AttributeKey.stringKey("ignorespan")) != null){
+    return false;
+  }
+  return true;
+};
+SdkTracerProvider tracerProvider = SdkTracerProvider.builder()
+    .addSpanProcessor(new StackTraceSpanProcessor(exportProcessor, 1000, filterPredicate))
+    .build();
+
+OpenTelemetrySdk sdk = OpenTelemetrySdk.builder().setTracerProvider(tracerProvider).build();
+```
