Pod Labels

Labels are used to send tags based upon a Deployment or a Pod.

Pod labels will show up as log attributes in DataSet. Below is where they are configured within a deployment YAML.

YAML

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: nginx-deployment
  labels:
    app: nginx
    deployment_label: ui_server_attribute
  annotations:
    a: hidden_from_ui
    b: hidden_from_ui
    c: hidden_from_ui
spec:
  replicas: 3
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: nginx
  template:
    metadata:
      annotations:
        log.config.scalyr.com/attributes.parser: accessLog
        log.config.scalyr.com/attributes.attribute_tag: ui_log_attribute
      labels:
        app: nginx
        **pod_label: ui_log_attribute**
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: nginx
        image: nginx:latest
        ports:
        - containerPort: 80

You can check your deployment labels with the following command
