What
Before exporting metrics to BigQuery, the exporter checks that the workload-identity dispatch host matches the host of the configured metrics endpoint, and skips the export when they differ. Only affects deployments using this export path.
Evidence
"BigQuery metrics export: WIF dispatch host differs from the metrics endpoint host, skipping"
