Description

Today in kube inventory plugin there is no way to map a deployment to a pod thereby to a container.

sample config [[inputs.kube_inventory]] url = "https://127.0.0.1:6443" url_kubelet = "https://127.0.0.1:10250" bearer_token = "/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token" insecure_skip_verify = true name_prefix = "kube_inventory_"

Can the plugin be enhanced to include the pod names in the deployment metrics

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the kube inventory plugin's deployment collection code and add logic to fetch pods that match the deployment's selector, then include pod names in the deployment metric.
