Container Log Blacklist¶

To exclude container logs from being collected, follow these steps:

1. For any Pod where log collection is not needed, add the annotation insight.opentelemetry.io/log-ignore: "true" in the Pod's metadata. This prevents logs from being collected for that Pod. Example:

   apiVersion: apps/v1
   kind: Pod
   metadata:
     name: log-generator
   spec:
     selector:
       matchLabels:
         app.kubernetes.io/name: log-generator
     replicas: 1
     template:
       metadata:
         labels:
           app.kubernetes.io/name: log-generator
         annotations:
           insight.opentelemetry.io/log-ignore: "true"
       spec:
         containers:
           - name: nginx
             image: banzaicloud/log-generator:0.3.2
   

2. Restart the Pod. Once the Pod is back in a running state, Fluent Bit will no longer collect logs from the containers within that Pod.
