Describe the issue you're reporting

as https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/pull/24662/files#r1294169143 commented, we need a UID of the collector as the lock name to indicate which component it is for.

It would be helpful to have a way for collector components to identify themself as part of a specific installation, so you can startup collectors with an id like --class my-release and use that for issues like this, instead of relying on the id of platform specific controllers.
