Enrich data with static labels

groundcover allows you to add custom static key/value labels to all data ingested into your backend. This includes logs, traces, and metrics generated by the groundcover sensors, the k8s-watcher, and custom metrics scraped by the sensor.

For metrics, the static labels are added as metric labels. For logs, they appear in the Tags section. For traces, they are included as span attributes.

Specifying what to collect

To apply custom static labels, you need to update your groundcover deployment values.yaml file.

The global.labelEnrichment.staticLabels configuration applies static labels to the telemetry as described above:

global:
  labelEnrichment:
    staticLabels:
      environment: "production"
      team: "platform"
