Kiali in Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh cannot detect application traffic if alternative labels different than "app" and "version" are used.
Issue
Visualization in Kiali
does not work when resources are tagged using labels different to the default ones, which are 'app' and 'version'.
From Upstream Kiali Github Examples:
metadata:
labels:
app: music-store-backend <-- The label default name 'app' can't be changed, Kiali will search for this specific label.
version: v1 <-- The label default name 'version' can't be changed, Kiali will search for this specific label.
name: music-store-backend-v1
namespace: music-store
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
