Which kubernetes entites are enriched by "Metadata enrichment of all telemetry originating from kubernetes workloads"?

panumjp — Tue, 06 May 2025 10:58:14 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to set dt.security_context using existing label with this feature:
https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/ingest-from/setup-on-k8s/guides/metadata-automation/k8s-metadata-telemetry-enrichment#enrichment-options

My dt.security_context is set to kubernetes events and to trace spans as expected, but I am not able to find any kubernetes entities with dt.security_context using DQL query

In this document: https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/ingest-from/setup-on-k8s/guides/metadata-automation/k8s-metadata-telemetry-enrichment#which-data-will-be-enriched
there is a mention in "Which data will be enriched" -section:
"Kubernetes monitored entities (dt.security_context only)"

Does anybody know exactly which kubernetes monitored entities should be enriched with this feature?

Well, I was able to find enriched kubernetes entities using entity selector using get entities API:

type("CLOUD_APPLICATION"),dt.security_context.exists()

Similar(?) DQL query in notebooks did not find anything:

fetch dt.entity.cloud_application | filter isNotNull(dt.security_context)

I was finally able to find entities using DQL when I changed Destination property of dt.entity.cloud_application from managementZones to dt.security_context using this feature:
