+
+
+
+The `swok8sdiscovery` receiver performs periodic discovery of databases used in a Kubernetes cluster and emits **entity events as OpenTelemetry log records** describing discovered database instances and their relationships to owning Kubernetes workloads (Deployment / StatefulSet / DaemonSet / Job / CronJob).
+
+Discovery currently supports two complementary strategies (both optional – enable either or both):
+
+1. Image-based discovery (`database.image_rules`):
+	 - Matches container image names against user-provided regular expressions.
+	 - Optionally constrains to a single default port when specified.
+	 - Resolves a stable endpoint using the best matching Service (selector overlaps chosen ports) or falls back to the Pod name.
+2. Domain-based discovery (`database.domain_rules`):
+	 - Matches `ExternalName` Services whose external DNS name matches configured patterns.
+	 - When multiple rules match, the one whose `database_type` or any of its `domain_hints` appears in either the service name or external domain is preferred.
+
+Each discovered database produces:
+* An entity state log (type = `entity_state`) with attributes under `otel.entity.id` identifying the database (`sw.discovery.dbo.address`, `sw.discovery.dbo.type`, `sw.discovery.id`).
+* (If workload ownership resolved) A relationship log (type = `entity_relationship_state`) linking the database entity to a Kubernetes workload (relation type `DiscoveredBy`).
+
+### Emitted Attributes (selection)
+| Attribute | Description |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| `otel.entity.event.type` | `entity_state` or `entity_relationship_state` |
+| `otel.entity.type` | Always `DiscoveredDatabaseInstance` for entity events |
+| `sw.discovery.dbo.address` | Endpoint + (resolved) port list, e.g. `mongo-svc:27017` |
+| `sw.discovery.dbo.type` | Logical database type (e.g. `mongo`, `postgres`, `redis`) |
+| `sw.discovery.dbo.name` | Endpoint plus workload name (`<endpoint>#<workload>`) when workload present |
+| `sw.discovery.source` | Value of configured `reporter` (for provenance) |
+| `k8s.<workload kind>.name` | Name of owning workload (when resolved) |
+| `k8s.namespace.name` | Namespace of the workload/pod/service |
+| `sw.k8s.cluster.uid` | Cluster UID (from environment `CLUSTER_UID`) |
+
+### Configuration
+
+Top-level settings:
+
+| Field | Type | Default | Description |
+|-------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `interval` | duration | `5m` | Time between discovery cycles. Shorten in tests (e.g. `15s`). |
+| `reporter` | string | empty | Optional source label recorded as `sw.discovery.source`. |
+| `k8s` auth fields | (inlined via `APIConfig`) | | Standard Kubernetes client auth (service account, kubeconfig, etc.). |
+| `database` | object | nil | Enables database discovery if provided. |
+
+`database.image_rules` entries:
+| Field | Type | Required | Description |
+|-------|------|----------|-------------|
+| `database_type` | string | yes | Logical database type label. |
+| `patterns` | []string (regex) | yes | Regex patterns matched against full container image (e.g. `docker.io/library/mongo:.*`). |
+| `default_port` | int | no | If present and exists among container ports, only that port will be emitted (deduping multi-port images). |
+
+`database.domain_rules` entries:
+| Field | Type | Required | Description |
+|-------|------|----------|-------------|
+| `database_type` | string | yes | Logical database type label. |
+| `patterns` | []string (regex) | yes | Patterns matched against `ExternalName` value. |
+| `domain_hints` | []string | no | Tie-break hints (substring matches in service name or external domain). |
+
+### Example Configuration
+
+```yaml
+receivers:
+	swok8sdiscovery:
+		interval: 30s
+		reporter: "agent"
+		# Kubernetes auth (service account in-cluster example)

+					default_port: 5432
+			domain_rules:
+				- database_type: redis
+					patterns: [".*redis.example.com"]
