Getting Started

You need to install the OpenTelemetry.Resources.Container package to be able to use the Container Resource Detectors.

dotnet add package OpenTelemetry.Resources.Container --prerelease

Usage

You can configure Container resource detector to the ResourceBuilder with the following example.

using OpenTelemetry;
using OpenTelemetry.Resources.Container;

using var tracerProvider = Sdk.CreateTracerProviderBuilder()
    .ConfigureResource(resource => resource.AddContainerDetector())
    // other configurations
    .Build();

using var meterProvider = Sdk.CreateMeterProviderBuilder()
    .ConfigureResource(resource => resource.AddContainerDetector())
    // other configurations
    .Build();

using var loggerFactory = LoggerFactory.Create(builder =>
{
    builder.AddOpenTelemetry(options =>
    {
        options.SetResourceBuilder(ResourceBuilder.CreateDefault().AddContainerDetector());
    });
});

The resource detectors will record the following metadata based on where your application is running:

  • ContainerDetector:
    • container.id
    • container.runtime.name (when the container runtime is Docker or Podman).

When running in Kubernetes with containerd and cgroup v2, the id of the container is not exposed to the process inside the container. Only the id of the pod sandbox is visible, which is shared by every container in the pod, so it is not reported as container.id.

Adding container.id in Kubernetes

To add container.id in this environment, use the k8sattributes processor in the OpenTelemetry Collector. The processor does not add container.id by default, and it can only identify the container when the telemetry it receives includes the k8s.container.name resource attribute:

  1. Set k8s.container.name in your application's resource, for example by setting OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES=k8s.container.name=<container-name> in the container specification of the pod. This is required to identify the correct container in pods that have more than one container. Optionally, also set k8s.container.restart_count, as without it the processor cannot guarantee that the id of the current container instance is used after a container restart.

  2. Configure the processor to extract container.id:

    processors:
  k8sattributes:
    extract:
      metadata:
        - container.id
