What did you see instead? If you are reporting a bug, create a self-contained
project using the template of your choice and apply the minimum required code to
result in the issue you're observing. We will close this issue if:

• The repro project you share with us is complex. We can't investigate custom
  projects, so don't point us to such, please.
• If we can not reproduce the behavior you're reporting.

For e.g. for AWSResourceDetector: If I need only account id and task arn and not others.
out of these

For now, there is no such possibility.
OpenTelemetry collector can be central point where you can process all data. It includes any manipulation of resources/attributes. Is it an option for you?

[prajon84]

Oh ok. I have to consult with my team then. I am not sure if we can manipulate resource attributes at collector level.

The Collector is the solution for this, take a look at the transform processor. I would suggest keeping at the resource attributes however, as these allow you to filter and graph later if they do become relevant.

I'm closing this as it's not something we would do at the SDK level.
