Add env variables to podman_container_info

[dmennecke1]

We would love to list the container environment variables in Grafana using Prometheus as a datasource. When running podman_container_info{name="db"} i get

podman_container_info{id="50bd8e611a8e", image="localhost/postgres:latest", instance="localhost:9882", job="ppe", name="db", pod_id="0070d18cd8ab", pod_name="msx", ports="0.0.0.0:4201->420/tcp"}

Is there a way to add the env variables (e.g. coming from podman run -e) like so:

podman_container_info{id="50bd8e611a8e", image="localhost/postgres:latest", instance="localhost:9882", job="ppe", name="db", pod_id="0070d18cd8ab", pod_name="msx", ports="0.0.0.0:4201->420/tcp", env_vars="{db_name:'postgres', db_version: 1}"}

Hi @dmennecke1

I might add a new metric podman_container_env or add it to podman_container_info itself.

Not sure if its useful for you but you can add db_name and db_version as a label to your container/pod and use --collector.store_labels option to add it to the exported metrics.
