+## MeasurementProcessor
+
+**Status**: [Development](../document-status.md)
+
+`MeasurementProcessor` is an interface which allows hooks when a `Measurement` is recorded by an `Instrument`.
+
+`MeasurementProcessors` can be registered directly on SDK `MeterProvider` and they are invoked in the same order as they were registered.
+
+SDK MUST allow users to implement and configure custom processors.
+
+The following diagram shows `MeasurementProcessor`'s relationship to other components in the SDK:

+### MeasurementProcessor operations
+
+#### OnMeasure
+
+`OnMeasure` is called when a `Measurement` is recorded. This method is called synchronously on the thread that emitted the `Measurement`, therefore it SHOULD NOT block or throw exceptions.
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+* `measurement` - a [Measurement](./api.md#measurement) that was recorded
+* `context` - the resolved `Context` (the explicitly passed `Context` or the current `Context`)
+
+**Returns:** Void
+
+For a `MeasurementProcessor` registered directly on SDK `MeterProvider`, the `measurement` mutations MUST be visible in next registered processors.
+
+A `MeasuremenetProcessor` may freely modify `measurement` for the duration of the `OnMeasure` call.
