Description

Today in kube inventory plugin there is no way to map a deployment to a pod thereby to a container.

sample config [[inputs.kube_inventory]] url = "https://127.0.0.1:6443" url_kubelet = "https://127.0.0.1:10250" bearer_token = "/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token" insecure_skip_verify = true name_prefix = "kube_inventory_"

Can the plugin be enhanced to include the pod names in the deployment metrics

Research direction
The feature requests adding pod names to deployment metrics in telegraf's kube inventory plugin. To begin, examine the existing plugin code in plugins/inputs/kube inventory/ to understand current data collection. The implementation likely involves querying deployments, replicasets, and pods from the Kubernetes API and enriching deployment metrics with pod names. Review telegraf's plugin development documentation and consider creating a new metric field. There are no linked PRs or discussions, so a fresh implementation is needed.
