### Advanced Options

| Field                        | Type    | Default | Required | Description                                                                                                                            |   |

<Note> The pod’s IP address is retrieved by defining an environment variable `MY_POD_IP` from the pod’s status field `status.podIP`. You can access this value using `${env:MY_POD_IP}` in your configuration to dynamically reference the pod’s IP at runtime. </Note>
