Hello,

In Elastic Agent, it seems that logs are collected, transformed into documents, and then converted to the Elastic Common Schema (ECS). During this process, the `service.name` field is populated by parsing the value of the `app.kubernetes.io/name` Kubernetes label.

However, I would like to configure the `service.name` field based on a different label instead of `app.kubernetes.io/name`.

I am currently deploying this setup using the Fleet Kubernetes Integration. Could you advise on how to modify this configuration?
