k8s: add ability to include / exclude pods by namespace

[geekflyer]

Hi, could you please add the functionality to include / exclude containers by namespace in k8s? I requested this already half a year ago when we evaluated scalyr, and hope we can get this soon :)

Hello,
Thanks for reaching out. You can exclude based upon namespace using the option k8s_ignore_namespaces This is a comma-delimited blacklist of namespaces. The default value is "kube-system". Currently, there is no support for a whitelist.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Regards,

Hi,

I have had a discussion with the product team and engineering and adding whitelist functionality here would not be too difficult of a task. I have opened a feature request and will update you when the whitelist functionality has been implemented.

Hi @jmorascalyr . I set the environment SCALYR_K8S_IGNORE_NAMESPACES=kube-system,datadog on the scalyr agent, but I still see logs coming from the datadog namespace, so it appears to not work 😢. Any thoughts on this?

Fyi the whitelist functionality is not that important for me. A working blacklist is at the moment sufficient for our needs. Thanks.

hi @jmorascalyr is there any ETA on adding whitelist functionality ?

Checking in on this 3.5 years later... any progress on whitelisting namespaces?
