Extending entity details

Kubernetes annotations with a special swo.cloud.solarwinds.com/ prefix can be used for displaying workloads metadata on inspector panels and Kubernetes workload detail views of the Entity Explorer. For more information, see Annotations in Kubernetes documentation.

To show textual information, add a Kubernetes annotation to a workload using the following format:

swo.cloud.solarwinds.com/value.{value-name}: "{value-value}"

To show a link, create an annotation in the following format:

swo.cloud.solarwinds.com/link.{link-name}: "{link-source}"

For example, when a Kubernetes Deployment contains the below annotations, its inspector panel will contain two additional items, a property team with value example and a link github-repo, navigating to www.example.com:

swo.cloud.solarwinds.com/value.team: "example"

swo.cloud.solarwinds.com/link.github-repo: "http://www.example.com"
