 ## Performance and batching
 
-The exporter supports both internal batching and OpenTelemetry's standard `sending_queue` configuration:
+### Using sending queue
+
+The {{es}} exporter supports the `sending_queue` setting, which supports both queueing and batching.  The sending queue is deactivated by default.
+
+You can turn on the sending queue by setting `sending_queue::enabled` to `true`:
+
+```yaml subs=true
+exporters:
+  elasticsearch:
+    endpoint: https://elasticsearch:9200
+    sending_queue:
+      enabled: true
+```
 
 ### Internal batching (default)
 
-By default, the exporter performs its own buffering and batching, as configured through the `flush` setting, unless the `sending_queue` and  `batcher` settings are defined.
+By default, the exporter performs its own buffering and batching, as configured through the `flush` setting, unless the `sending_queue::batch` or the `batcher` settings are defined. In that case, batching is controlled by either of the two settings, depending on the version.

+### Custom batching
 
-The Elasticsearch exporter supports the `sending_queue` setting, which supports both queueing and batching. However, the sending queue is currently deactivated by default. You can turn on the sending queue by setting `sending_queue` to true. Batching support in sending queue is also deactivated by default and can be turned on by defining `sending_queue::batch`. For example:

+:::{applies-item} stack: ga 9.2

+- `batcher`:
+  - `enabled` (default=unset): Enable batching of requests into 1 or more bulk requests. On a batcher flush, it is possible for a batched request to be translated to more than 1 bulk request due to `flush::bytes`.
+  - `sizer` (default=items): Unit of `min_size` and `max_size`. Currently supports only "items", in the future will also support "bytes".
+  - `min_size` (default=5000): Minimum batch size to be exported to Elasticsearch, measured in units according to `batcher::sizer`.
+  - `max_size` (default=0): Maximum batch size to be exported to Elasticsearch, measured in units according to `batcher::sizer`. To limit bulk request size, configure `flush::bytes` instead. :warning: It is recommended to keep `max_size` as 0 as a non-zero value may lead to broken metrics grouping and indexing rejections.
+  - `flush_timeout` (default=10s): Maximum time of the oldest item spent inside the batcher buffer, aka "max age of batcher buffer". A batcher flush will happen regardless of the size of content in batcher buffer.

+For example:
+
+```yaml subs=true
