collector

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I have a situation where I want to run an openTelemetry-collector that accesses the audit-daemon (i.e. host namespace). It is connected to a feature request here open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib#40836.

Describe the solution you'd like

The issue seems to be that I am not allowed to set spec.hostPID (boolean). Because when instantiating an OpenTelemetryCollector as DaemonSet manually (with spec.hostPID: true) I am able to run it as expected.

Proposed solution:

• allow for a user to set the spec.hostPID
• modify OpenTelemetryCollector CRD to allow setting spec.hostPID

Describe alternatives you've considered

I have not found another way that would allow me to run a privileged openTelemetry-collector as a DaemonSet.
