Recommended |
container.image.id |
string | Runtime specific image identifier. Usually a hash algorithm followed by a UUID. [2] | sha256:19c92d0a00d1b66d897bceaa7319bee0dd38a10a851c60bcec9474aa3f01e50f |
Recommended |
container.image.name |
string | Name of the image the container was built on. | gcr.io/opentelemetry/operator |
Recommended |
container.image.repo_digests |
string[] | Repo digests of the container image as provided by the container runtime. [3] | [example@sha256:afcc7f1ac1b49db317a7196c902e61c6c3c4607d63599ee1a82d702d249a0ccb, internal.registry.example.com:5000/example@sha256:b69959407d21e8a062e0416bf13405bb2b71ed7a84dde4158ebafacfa06f5578] |
Recommended |
container.image.tags |
string[] | Container image tags. An example can be found in Docker Image Inspect. Should be only the <tag> section of the full name for example from registry.example.com/my-org/my-image:<tag>. |
[v1.27.1, 3.5.7-0] |
Recommended |
container.labels.<key> |
string | Container labels, <key> being the label name, the value being the label value. |
container.labels.app=nginx |
Recommended |
container.name |
string | Container name used by container runtime. | opentelemetry-autoconf |
Recommended |
container.runtime |
string | The container runtime managing this container. | docker; containerd; rkt |
Recommended |
oci.manifest.digest |
string | The digest of the OCI image manifest. For container images specifically is the digest by which the container image is known. [4] | sha256:e4ca62c0d62f3e886e684806dfe9d4e0cda60d54986898173c1083856cfda0f4 |

[1]: If using embedded credentials or sensitive data, it is recommended to remove them to prevent potential leakage.
[2]: Docker defines a sha256 of the image id; container.image.id corresponds to the Image field from the Docker container inspect API endpoint.
K8s defines a link to the container registry repository with digest "imageID": "registry.azurecr.io /namespace/service/dockerfile@sha256:bdeabd40c3a8a492eaf9e8e44d0ebbb84bac7ee25ac0cf8a7159d25f62555625".
The ID is assinged by the container runtime and can vary in different environments. Consider using oci.manifest.digest if it is important to identify the same image in different environments/runtimes.
[3]: Docker and CRI report those under the RepoDigests field.
[4]: Follows OCI Image Manifest Specification, and specifically the Digest property. An example can be found in Example Image Manifest.
