Testing

Added unit tests following existing conventions
Built custom otel collector using ocb, ran on Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE) cluster, and verified that resulting metrics are enriched with these labels:

Documentation

Will you be owning this code moving forward?

geekdave · 2025-09-12T16:10:02Z

@atoulme Yes! I, along with two of my colleagues at Oracle, @tonychoe and @raphaelfan can be the codeowners.

We discussed ownership and project sponsorship with @dashpole (who volunteered to be the project sponsor) in this linked issue:
#35091

Feel free to ping me on slack once tests are passing

Moving to draft while you work out the issues, please mark ready for review when CI passes.

geekdave · 2025-09-18T21:14:37Z

@atoulme Tests are now passing! I've been working with @dashpole who has been helping to manually trigger test runs. The most recent run passed. However, when I clicked on Ready for Review it seems to have cleared the recent test results. It may require a re-trigger?

geekdave · 2025-09-18T21:21:32Z

Also wanted to mention that I tried to add myself and my Oracle teammates as codeowners in our metadata.yaml file, but CI failed because we are not members of the OTel GitHub Org. @dashpole mentioned this is a classic "chicken and egg" problem. For now I removed us from the list. But I wanted to reiterate that we are committed to maintaining and supporting this component. I'm looking forward to participating in meaningful ways to work towards earning org membership (and codeowner status)!

atoulme · 2025-09-18T22:02:53Z

@geekdave you can add yourself to the allowlist under cmd/githubgen/allowlist.txt one username per line if you would like to be codeowners ahead of joining as members. Or we can add you post facto.

I have triggered the build.

atoulme · 2025-09-18T22:03:13Z

@dashpole please review

geekdave · 2025-09-18T22:28:31Z

@atoulme Thanks for the tip! If it's alright I will hold my breath and back away slowly from this PR's green CI status, and update the allowlist as a follow-up PR after-the-fact. 😉

+// Detect detects system metadata and returns a resource with the available ones
+func (d *Detector) Detect(ctx context.Context) (resource pcommon.Resource, schemaURL string, err error) {
+	compute, err := d.provider.Metadata(ctx)
+	if err != nil {


This approach is OK, but you may want to try and differentiate between the case where someone is not on oracle cloud (where return pcommon.NewResource(), "", nil is correct), and the case where someone is on oracle cloud, but the request failed (e.g. a timeout?). Currently, it is possible for a user to end up with missing resource attributes in the latter case.

Feedback above is non-blocking, but I would recommend filing an issue to track fixing it if you choose not to address it in this PR.

atoulme · 2025-09-19T15:13:44Z

@geekdave please file an issue or fix it here, and we can merge.

geekdave · 2025-09-19T18:15:26Z

@atoulme @dashpole I've created an issue addressing the above feedback, and suggesting a few approaches. I'll investigate further. In the meantime if any of the possible approaches in the issue stand out as preferable, please feel free to comment: #42794
