When creating custom K8s container collection configurations in the console, you need to set container labels and environment variables to specify the containers to collect. This topic introduces how to obtain container labels and environment variables after logging in to the host where the container is located.

Container label: container labels found in Docker inspect.

Environment variable: environment variables configured when the container starts.

Docker runtime scenario

Log in to the host where the container is located.

Run the following command to obtain the container ID.

Note:

hbase is the container name. You need to replace it with the actual container name based on your business needs.

The first string in the returned result is the container ID, such as 7cbb0bca4d09 in the image below.

docker ps | grep hbase

Run the following command to get the container's environment variables.

Note:

7cbb0bca4d09 is the container ID. You need to replace it with the actual container ID based on your business needs.
