newer version of fluentd tries to get pod metadata for nopod dummy alias? about lagoon-charts

[smlx]

I'm not sure if there's anything we can do about this through configuration. The problem is that we only have a namespace name in the log record, and we are trying to enrich it with namespace labels. There is never any valid pod name in the log record. So to fix this error message I guess that either:

1. the k8s metadata plugin adds support for scraping namespace info only; or
2. we write a plugin that scrapes namespace info only, and use that instead.

The first option seems most realistic but not sure what the priority would be.

I looked into this a bit more, here is where this error message was bumped from debug to error.

I'll create an issue upstream to discuss if error is the correct level here
