Description

We are excited to announce the general availability of Kubernetes Metadata and Logs Filtering in Azure Monitor – Container Insights! This enhancement adds Kubernetes metadata to the ContainerLogsV2 schema, including PodLabels, PodAnnotations, PodUid, Image, ImageID, ImageRepo, and ImageTag. Users can customize metadata fields via ConfigMap, and all fields are collected by default. The new Logs Filtering feature allows for precise filtering of both workload and system pods/containers. Additionally, the enhanced ContainerLogV2 schema includes log level information to assess application health with color-coded severity levels. A Grafana Dashboard is available for visualizing log levels, log volume, rate, records, and more, empowering in-depth analysis and real-time monitoring. These advancements provide users with richer context and improved visibility into their workloads.
