Attributes

Attribute	Description
`namespace`	The name of the domain ( `fmm:namespace` object) that this configuration belongs to.
`kind`	The data type of this configuration. Set this to `entityPriority`.
`name`	The name of this configuration within the context of the namespace. Must be unique within a solution. Can contain only alphanumeric characters, underscores, or hyphens.
`displayName`	The name of this configuration as it will appear in the user interface.
`description`	Description of this configuration.
`scopeFilter`	Required. A filter expression which is matched against an input OpenTelemetry packet. Predefined variables: `source` (source of the data), `meltType` (MELT type of the data), `resourceAttributes` (refers to the OTLP packet's resource attributes). Predefined functions: • boolean `containsAll(resourceAttributes, String[] names)` • boolean `matchAny(resourceAttributes, String[] names)` • KeyValue `getAttributes(resourceAttributes, String name)` • `getValue(resourceAttributes, attributeName)`
`entityPriorityOrder`	A map of entityType to priority. Lower numbers have higher priority. Priority can be negative. Include either `entityPriorities` or `entityPriorityOrder`, but not both.
`entityPriorities`	A map of entityType to priority. Lower numbers have higher priority. Priority can be negative. Include either `entityPriorities` or `entityPriorityOrder`, but not both.
