Create and assign the service.name attribute

In this milestone, you create the service.name attribute that identifies which service a collector monitors. This attribute enables service-based configuration and troubleshooting workflows, allowing you to manage telemetry collection for specific services across your infrastructure.

To create and assign the service attribute, complete the following steps:

1. Repeat Milestone 3:

   1. On the Inventory tab, select collectors that monitor a specific service.
   2. Click the Edit remote attributes button.

2. In the Bulk edit remote attributes box, select Add remote attributes.

3. In the Key field, type service.name and press Enter.

4. In the Value field, type a service name and press Enter. For example, enter payment-api.

5. Click Apply changes.

6. Repeat this milestone until all your collectors are categorized by service.

After you apply the final changes, return to the Inventory tab to see the service.name attribute with assigned values in the attributes list of the selected collectors.

In the next milestone, you learn how to add the env attribute to specify where collectors are running.
