Why Cloud Functions appear as 'generic_task' in `monitored_resource` in metrics. #314

Hello,

I am pretty new to OpenTelemetry.

I have used the packages in this repo for exporting metrics directly to Stack Driver (GCP Monitoring Service).

However, I see that when I use a GCF v2, it appears to be a 'generic_task' in metrics. I tried several things and nothing worked.

In the end, I dug into the code and found out that the logic was not there to handle GCF. The file is this one https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/opentelemetry-operations-python/blob/main/opentelemetry-resourcedetector-gcp/src/opentelemetry/resourcedetector/gcp_resource_detector/_mapping.py#L145.

My question here is that is it intentionally not implemented or is it going to be available in the future?

It is intentionally mapped to generic task. The monitored resource for cloud function is not writeable for custom metrics. Feel free to ask questions in our slack channel, #otel-gcp as well: https://app.slack.com/client/T08PSQ7BQ/C043XTR0JHF
