Adding kubernates.podIp to the transaction

[CoderLan0668]

String podUid = System.getenv("KUBERNETES_POD_UID"); String podName = System.getenv("KUBERNETES_POD_NAME"); String nodeName = System.getenv("KUBERNETES_NODE_NAME"); String namespace = System.getenv("KUBERNETES_NAMESPACE");
the agent can collect some information about the pod or the node in K8S, but the pod name or the pod uid are not obvious enough to find where the transaction from.

If the agent collect the pod ip, we can acheive these easily, as the pod ip is more obvious than the pod name or the pod uid, right?

I am not sure what you mean by "pod name or the pod uid are not obvious enough to find where the transaction from". It's not about uniqueness, as the pod UID is unique. Is it about consistency between pod restarts?
Please try again to describe the problem you are trying to solve. A sample document would be good to demonstrate what you are missing.

for example， we can get some K8S information form transaction doc

we can know that the transacction is reported from the pod with uid of 29888539-dbce-11ea-86b1-005056a2ab59, but it's not obvious enough, because there is only pod ip shown in the deployment platform

we can not mapping the pod uid to ip, unless query through k8s.

Can you use the k8s downward API (or any readymade environment variable containing the pod IP) to set the global_labels config with it? If so, the pod IP will be stored in the key you configure (under labels)
