frustrated when [...]

We have calico installed in our clusters. Network policies that log traffic correspond to kernel logs, .e.g SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER=kernel. Previously, we were able to do this with the fluent-bit config:

fluent-bit:
  config:
    inputs: |
      [INPUT]
          Name            systemd
          Systemd_Filter  SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER=kernel

There doesn't appear to be a way to do this with otelcol
