Kubernetes

Useful resources to understand Kubernetes objects and metadata:

The "name" of a Kubernetes object is unique for that type of object within a "namespace" and only at a specific moment of time (names can be reused over time). The "uid" is unique across your whole cluster, and very likely across time. Because of this it is recommended to always set the UID for every Kubernetes object, but "name" is usually more user friendly so can be also set.

Cluster

type: k8s.cluster

Description: A Kubernetes Cluster.

Attribute Description Example
k8s.cluster.name The name of the cluster. opentelemetry-cluster

Namespace

Namespaces provide a scope for names. Names of objects need to be unique within a namespace, but not across namespaces.

type: k8s.namespace

Description: A Kubernetes Namespace.

Attribute Description Example
k8s.namespace.name The name of the namespace that the pod is running in. default

Pod

The smallest and simplest Kubernetes object. A Pod represents a set of running containers on your cluster.

type: k8s.pod

Description: A Kubernetes Pod object.

Attribute Description Example
k8s.pod.uid The uid of the Pod. 275ecb36-5aa8-4c2a-9c47-d8bb681b9aff
k8s.pod.name The name of the Pod. opentelemetry-pod-autoconf

Container

A container specification in a Pod template. This type is intended to be used to capture information such as name of a container in a Pod template which is different from the name of the running container.

Note: This type is different from container, which corresponds to a running container.

type: k8s.container

Description: A container in a PodTemplate.

Attribute Description Example
k8s.container.name The name of the Container in a Pod template. redis

ReplicaSet

A ReplicaSet’s purpose is to maintain a stable set of replica Pods running at any given time.

type: k8s.replicaset

Description: A Kubernetes ReplicaSet object.

Attribute Description Example
k8s.replicaset.uid The uid of the ReplicaSet. 275ecb36-5aa8-4c2a-9c47-d8bb681b9aff
k8s.replicaset.name The name of the ReplicaSet. opentelemetry

Deployment

An API object that manages a replicated application, typically by running Pods with no local state. Each replica is represented by a Pod, and the Pods are distributed among the nodes of a cluster.

type: k8s.deployment

Description: A Kubernetes Deployment object.

Attribute Description Example
k8s.deployment.uid The uid of the Deployment. 275ecb36-5aa8-4c2a-9c47-d8bb681b9aff
k8s.deployment.name The name of the Deployment. opentelemetry

StatefulSet

Manages the deployment and scaling of a set of Pods, and provides guarantees about the ordering and uniqueness of these Pods.

type: k8s.statefulset

Description: A Kubernetes StatefulSet object.

Attribute Description Example
k8s.statefulset.uid The uid of the StatefulSet. 275ecb36-5aa8-4c2a-9c47-d8bb681b9aff
k8s.statefulset.name The name of the StatefulSet. opentelemetry

DaemonSet

A DaemonSet ensures that all (or some) Nodes run a copy of a Pod.

type: k8s.daemonset

Description: A Kubernetes DaemonSet object.

Attribute Description Example
k8s.daemonset.uid The uid of the DaemonSet. 275ecb36-5aa8-4c2a-9c47-d8bb681b9aff
k8s.daemonset.name The name of the DaemonSet. opentelemetry

Job

A Job creates one or more Pods and ensures that a specified number of them successfully terminate.

type: k8s.job

Description: A Kubernetes Job object.

Attribute Description Example
k8s.job.uid The uid of the Job. 275ecb36-5aa8-4c2a-9c47-d8bb681b9aff
k8s.job.name The name of the Job. opentelemetry

CronJob

A CronJob creates Jobs on a repeating schedule.

type: k8s.cronjob

Description: A Kubernetes CronJob object.

Attribute Description Example
k8s.cronjob.uid The uid of the CronJob. 275ecb36-5aa8-4c2a-9c47-d8bb681b9aff
k8s.cronjob.name The name of the CronJob. opentelemetry
