Hi Team,

 

I am using splunk otel to gather logs from GKE to splunk cloud platformand I see the below errors:

otel-collector 2025-02-25T23:29:46.515Z error reader/reader.go:214 failed to process token {"kind": "receiver", "name": "filelog", "data_type": "logs", "component": "fileconsumer", "path": "/var/log/pods/lxysdsdb/istio-proxy/0.log", "error": "failed to send entry after error: remove: field does not exist: attributes.time"}

How can I resolve this?

 

I am using the below helm template values, can someone point out to what can be changed? I am using cri and otel (not fluentd) to collect the logs.
