Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm trying to associate the pod metadata labels to the collected cadvisor cpu/memory/network metrics. And due to the cadvisor metrics are collected through the cadvisor agent, it doesn't contain any target info for pod association.

Describe the solution you'd like

Build a new extract action and a new pod_association action to support normal attributes

Hi @hzhang4-sc what normal attributes do you mean? What attribute are you getting from cadvisor to identify a pod?

Hi @dmitryax , by normal attributes I mean the metric data points attributes, not the resource attributes. The label is pod name, and it's named as pod.
