Converts the IP address into a kubernetes pod ID for that IP address if it exists, otherwise returns an empty string. Converting to a pod ID means you can then extract the corresponding service name using px.pod_id_to_service_name. Note that this will not be able to convert IP addresses into DNS names generally as this is limited to internal Kubernetes state.

The Kubernetes ID of the pod if it exists, otherwise an empty string.

# Convert to the Kubernetes pod ID.
df.pod_id = px.ip_to_pod_id(df.remote_addr)
# Convert the ID to a readable name.
df.service = px.pod_id_to_service_name(df.pod_id)
