# Resource labels

> Learn about the labels assigned to Palo Alto Networks Telemetry Pipeline resources.

<Info>
  This information is for Palo Alto Networks Telemetry Pipeline, which is a standalone
  product separate from Palo Alto Networks Cortex XCOR.
</Info>

Because Palo Alto Networks Telemetry Pipeline is a collection of Kubernetes resources,
Palo Alto Networks Telemetry Pipeline uses the
[Kubernetes labeling system](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/labels/)
to categorize and identify these resources. You can't change these labels yourself,
but Palo Alto Networks Telemetry Pipeline applies labels consistently across
resources, which means you can
use them to select specific resources while performing Kubernetes operations.

## Label format and types

Palo Alto Networks Telemetry Pipeline resource labels use a key-value pair format separated by an
equal sign (`key=value`). All resource of the same type receive the same set of
keys, but certain keys' values contain information unique to a particular
instance of a resource, like a name or UUID.

## List of resource labels

Each resource in Palo Alto Networks Telemetry Pipeline receives the following labels:

| Resource type | Labels |
| - | - |
| Core Operator pod | `calyptia.core=core-operator`<br />`control-plane=controller-manager` |
| Core Operator metrics service | `calyptia.core=core-operator`<br />`control-plane=controller-manager` |
| Core Instance pod | `app.kubernetes.io/part-of=calyptia` |
| Core Instance metrics service | *none* |
| Pipeline pod | `app.kubernetes.io/component=calyptia-core`<br />`core-pipeline=[PIPELINE NAME]` |
| Cluster logging pipeline pod | `app.kubernetes.io/component=calyptia-core`<br />`core-pipeline=[INSTANCE NAME]-cluster-logging-[UUID]` |
| Pipeline service | `app.kubernetes.io/created-by=core-operator`<br />`app.kubernetes.io/managed-by=core-operator`<br />`app.kubernetes.io/part-of=calyptia`<br />`calyptia.core=core-operator` |
| Health check pod | `app.kubernetes.io/component=calyptia-core`<br />`core-pipeline=[INSTANCE NAME]-health-check-[UUID]` |
| Health check service | `calyptia.core=core-operator` |
