Extending Event Support

We have just improved our support for Kubernetes by adding out-of-the-box support for Kubernetes events collected through the k8seventsreceiver In the OpenTelemetry Collector.

Currently, the newly-introduced support for Kubernetes events is made of two things:

  1. Normalizing the format of the Kubernetes events from k8seventsreceiver so that they fit nicely with the k8s.* semantic conventions and Dash0’s resource centricity concept.
  2. A built-in view in Logging for Kubernetes events:

Besides, you can filter in the Logging page for Kubernetes events with the otel.event.name=k8s.event filter.

There is more about Kubernetes events to come. We will add support for retrieving out-of-the-box Kubernetes events via the Dash0 Operator. And soon™ Kubernetes events and other types of events are going to start playing a very important role in the way you monitor services.

Besides, we also added the otel.event.name attribute to allow filtering on the Kubernetes events eventName value.
