Enhance Cron Job Attributes

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The current implementation of the OpenTelemetry Collector provides very limited resource attributes for cronjobs

Describe the solution you'd like

Enhance the resource attributes for cronjobs to include:

k8s.cronjob.concurrency_policy
k8s.cronjob.schedule
k8s.cronjob.suspend

Describe alternatives you've considered

There is this function also that we can extend

func GetMetadata(cj *batchv1.CronJob) map[experimentalmetricmetadata.ResourceID]*metadata.KubernetesMetadata {
	rm := metadata.GetGenericMetadata(&cj.ObjectMeta, constants.K8sKindCronJob)
	rm.Metadata[cronJobKeySchedule] = cj.Spec.Schedule
	rm.Metadata[cronJobKeyConcurrencyPolicy] = string(cj.Spec.ConcurrencyPolicy)
	return map[experimentalmetricmetadata.ResourceID]*metadata.KubernetesMetadata{experimentalmetricmetadata.ResourceID(cj.UID): rm}
}

That sounds like a fair enhancement request to consider. However, we are in a phase that we will need to first work at Semantic Conventions for this kind of additions.

We will need a respective issue at https://github.com/open-telemetry/semantic-conventions.

Hi @ChrsMark,
Sorry for the delayed response. I didn't fully understand the next steps earlier. Just to confirm—should I go ahead and create a separate issue in the open-telemetry/semantic-conventions repo specifically for discussing and proposing the required semantic convention changes? Please let me know if there are any guidelines I should follow while doing so.

Thanks!

@naman-jain-15 correct! Filing an issue and then PR against open-telemetry/semantic-conventions would be the next step.
You can find the respective guideline at https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#semantic-conventions-compatibility
