+note: Add option to configure automatic service resource attributes
+
+issues: [37114]

+subtext: |
+  Implements [Service Attributes](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/semconv/non-normative/k8s-attributes/#service-attributes).
+
+  If you are using the file log receiver, you can now create the same resource attributes as traces (via OTLP) received
+  from an application instrumented with the OpenTelemetry Operator -
+  simply by adding the
+  `extract: { metadata: ["service.namespace", "service.name", "service.version", "service.instance.id"] }`
+  configuration to the `k8sattributesprocessor` processor.
+  See the [documentation](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/blob/main/processor/k8sattributesprocessor/README.md#configuring-recommended-resource-attributes) for more details.
