Description
Add a
disable
option, which isfalse
by default, to the configuration of thekubernetesprocessor
. If it is true, thekubernetesprocessor
won't try to connect to the Kubernetes API-server and will just send thedataGroups
it consumes to the next consumer.Motivation and Context
Some users want to run the collector in the non-Kubernetes environment.
There is also another implementation that meets the requirement. If the
kubernetesprocessor
fails to connect the API-server when initializing, we don't panic the process and just send the data to the next consumer later. In this way, no option is added. But the problem is that the users don't know whether the connection is ok. By explicitly setting thedisable
option, the users know the behavior of the processor. So I prefer panicking the process to letting it run if the connection failed and the option is not set, in which way the users could know exactly what happened.
