This makes the `resource_labels` API the recommended choice for supporting new or existing resource types that have all resource labels known before runtime or available on the payload during runtime.

For instance, for a K8s resource type, `resource_labels` can be used in tandem with the [Kubernetes filter](https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/pipeline/filters/kubernetes) to pack all six resource labels. Below is an example of what this could look like for a `k8s_container` resource:

I don't know, this was done well before my time by another Google employee who doesn't work in this area anymore. I'll check with my team and see if anyone would mind merging it into the main doc

When the [google-logging-agent](https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/agent) receives a structured log record, it treats the [some fields](https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/agent/configuration#special-fields) specially, allowing users to set specific fields in the LogEntry object that get written to the Logging API.

Currently, we also support some special fields in fluent-bit:

## Log Entry Fields

Currently, we support some special fields in fluent-bit for setting fields on the LogEntry object:

| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| logging.googleapis.com/operation | operation | Additional information about a potentially long-running operation |
| logging.googleapis.com/labels | labels | The value of this field should be a structured record |
| logging.googleapis.com/insertId | insertId | A unique identifier for the log entry. It is used to order logEntries |
| logging.googleapis.com/sourceLocation | sourceLocation | Additional information about the source code location that produced the log entry. |
| logging.googleapis.com/http_request | httpRequest | A common proto for logging HTTP requests. |
| logging.googleapis.com/trace | trace | Resource name of the trace associated with the log entry |
| logging.googleapis.com/traceSampled | traceSampled | The sampling decision associated with this log entry. |
| logging.googleapis.com/spanId | spanId | The ID of the trace span associated with this log entry. |
| timestamp | timestamp | An object including the seconds and nanos fields that represents the time |
| timestampSecond & timestampNanos | timestamp | The seconds and nanos that represents the time |

## Other Special Fields

| JSON log field | Description |
| :--- | :--- |
| logging.googleapis.com/projectId | Changes the project ID that this log will be written to. Ensure that you are authenticated to write logs to this project. |

## Operation
Operation field contains additional information about a potentially long-running operation with which a log entry is associated.
