I added a metadata query flow to 3.4 so it doesn't take much scripting to hit it with a few entityIDs to prime and send alerts if it doesn't have metadata on hand for that system.

Is this new flow documented?

In any case, I've removed Example 4 from the ChainingMetadataProvider
page until all of this shakes out a bit more.
