It implements three detector classes: a base KubernetesResourceDetector that always populates container.runtime, container.id, and k8s.pod.uid; and two variants that use the Kubernetes Downward API to read additional metadata either from environment variables or from mounted volume files. You pass one of these detectors to OpenTelemetry's get_aggregated_resources() function, which returns a Resource object you then pass to a TracerProvider.\n\nThe package depends on opentelemetry-sdk and opentelemetry-semantic-conventions, and requires Python 3.8 or later. It is designed specifically for workloads running inside Kubernetes pods and will not detect meaningful metadata outside that environment. The Downward API variants require explicit configuration in your Kubernetes manifests to expose pod metadata as either environment variables or volume-mounted files.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release 2022-09-18, no commits since) and will receive no maintenance or updates. While it has low install friction and permissive licensing, the lack of maintenance means compatibility with current OpenTelemetry versions is uncertain and bugs will not be fixed. If you need Kubernetes resource detection for OpenTelemetry, seek an actively maintained alternative or verify this package still works with your current dependencies."},"id":"opentelemetry-resourcedetector-kubernetes","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opentelemetry-resourcedetector-kubernetes","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opentelemetry-resourcedetector-kubernetes.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/opentelemetry-resourcedetector-kubernetes/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-09-18","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"opentelemetry-resourcedetector-kubernetes","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"An OpenTelemetry package to populates Resource attributes for Kubernetes pods"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1810652,"position":3531,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.0"}
