Description
In our Kubernetes environment, we have observed that some tracing spans were missing Kubernetes metadata enrichment, particularly resource attributes required for compliance with our software taxonomy.
Currently, when the k8sattributesprocessor fails to find a pod based on the provided identifier, there is no explicit log message indicating this failure. This makes it difficult to debug issues related to missing metadata and to ensure that all observability signals are properly enriched and compliant with our taxonomy.
Justification for the Change:
Proposed Code Change: Update the processResource function in k8sattributesprocessor to add a debug log when a pod cannot be found for the given identifier.
