Hi @kadhamecha-conga! Is this issue occurring consistently, or from time to time? This could be related to a similar issue where e.g. the deployment name of a pod was missing in the attributes: #37056 - The fix for that will be included in the next release (v0.119.0) if I'm not mistaken, so it might be worth to try again with that version as soon as it becomes available

@bacherfl , k8s metadata is not at all coming.

Ok then it is problably a different issue than the one i linked. Can you try to set the log verbosity to debug and see if there are any error messages logged by the collector?
