Proposed title of this feature request
LabelKeys enabled for Red Hat Managed LokiStack
What is the nature and description of the request?
Currently, it's possible to set `clusterlogforwarder.spec.outputs.loki.labelKeys` for when log forwarding to a Red Hat not Managed Loki.
This RFE is for asking to enable `labelKeys` also for the Red Hat Managed Loki.
Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements)
With the default labelKeys, as using pipelines, every day is destroyed and created a big number of pods generating a big cardinality as it can be in the stream label `kubernetes_pod_name` what can lead to Loki performance issues as perfectly described in the Loki upstream documentation [1] where it's said:
Note: If the set of labels has high cardinality, this can cause drastic performance issues with Loki. To prevent this from happening, reduce the number of unique label keys and values.
Having a better control of the labels in Loki will help to optimize and improve the performance of Loki. An example of an output of the Labels cardinality where the `kubernetes_pod_name` shows a high cardinality in the last 12 hours:
Label Name Unique Values Found In Streams kubernetes_pod_name 7932 15620 kubernetes_container_name 236 15620 kubernetes_namespace_name 179 15620 kubernetes_host 26 15620 log_type 1 15620
List any affected packages or components.
