Container
Container
Status:
type: container
Description: A container instance.
Other Attributes:
:warning: This entity definition contains attributes without a role. Stable Entities MUST NOT have attributes without a defined role.
Attribute | Type | Description | Examples | Requirement Level | Stability |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
container.id | string | Container ID. Usually a UUID, as for example used to identify Docker containers. The UUID might be abbreviated. | a3bf90e006b2 | Recommended | |
container.label.<key> | string | Container labels, <key> being the label name, the value being the label value. [1] | nginx | Recommended | |
container.name | string | Container name used by container runtime. | opentelemetry-autoconf | Recommended | |
oci.manifest.digest | string | The digest of the OCI image manifest. For container images specifically is the digest by which the container image is known. [2] | sha256:e4ca62c0d62f3e886e684806dfe9d4e0cda60d54986898173c1083856cfda0f4 | Recommended | |
container.command | string | The command used to run the container (i.e. the command name). [3] | otelcontribcol | Opt-In | |
container.command_args | string[] | All the command arguments (including the command/executable itself) run by the container. | ["otelcontribcol", "--config", "config.yaml"] | Opt-In | |
container.command_line | string | The full command run by the container as a single string representing the full command. | otelcontribcol --config config.yaml | Opt-In |
[1] container.label.<key>
: For example, a docker container label app
with value nginx
SHOULD be recorded as the container.label.app
attribute with value "nginx"
.
[2] oci.manifest.digest
: Follows OCI Image Manifest Specification, and specifically the Digest property.
An example can be found in Example Image Manifest.
[3] container.command
: If using embedded credentials or sensitive data, it is recommended to remove them to prevent potential leakage.
Container Image
Status:
type: container.image
Description: The image used for the container.
Other Attributes:
:warning: This entity definition contains attributes without a role. Stable Entities MUST NOT have attributes without a defined role.
Attribute | Type | Description | Examples | Requirement Level | Stability |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
container.image.id | string | Runtime specific image identifier. Usually a hash algorithm followed by a UUID. [4] | sha256:19c92d0a00d1b66d897bceaa7319bee0dd38a10a851c60bcec9474aa3f01e50f | Recommended | |
container.image.name | string | Name of the image the container was built on. | gcr.io/opentelemetry/operator | Recommended | |
container.image.repo_digests | string[] | Repo digests of the container image as provided by the container runtime. [5] | ["example@sha256:afcc7f1ac1b49db317a7196c902e61c6c3c4607d63599ee1a82d702d249a0ccb", "internal.registry.example.com:5000/example@sha256:b69959407d21e8a062e0416bf13405bb2b71ed7a84dde4158ebafacfa06f5578"] | Recommended | |
container.image.tags | string[] | Container image tags. An example can be found in Docker Image Inspect. Should be only the <tag> section of the full name for example from registry.example.com/my-org/my-image:<tag> . | ["v1.27.1", "3.5.7-0"] | Recommended |
[4] container.image.id
: Docker defines a sha256 of the image id; container.image.id
corresponds to the Image
field from the Docker container inspect API endpoint.
K8s defines a link to the container registry repository with digest "imageID": "registry.azurecr.io /namespace/service/dockerfile@sha256:bdeabd40c3a8a492eaf9e8e44d0ebbb84bac7ee25ac0cf8a7159d25f62555625"
.
The ID is assigned by the container runtime and can vary in different environments. Consider using oci.manifest.digest
if it is important to identify the same image in different environments/runtimes.
[5] container.image.repo_digests
: Docker and CRI report those under the RepoDigests
field.
Container Runtime
Status:
type: container.runtime
Description: The runtime being used to run the container
Identifying Attributes:
Attribute | Type | Description | Examples | Requirement Level | Stability |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
container.runtime.name | string | The container runtime managing this container. | docker ; containerd ; rkt | Recommended | |
container.runtime.version | string | The version of the runtime of this process, as returned by the runtime without modification. | 1.0.0 | Recommended |
Descriptive Attributes:
Attribute | Type | Description | Examples | Requirement Level | Stability |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
container.runtime.description | string | A description about the runtime which could include, for example details about the CRI/API version being used or other customisations. | docker://19.3.1 - CRI: 1.22.0 | Recommended |
