Hi team! I exploring Beats and have some doubts about differences and limit between Beats installed over Operation System and ones over Kubernetes. 1 - At first look, appears Beats installed over Host/VM will collect more detailed log and metric data than deploy as DaemonSet on Kubernetes. This is true ? 2 - May I have both installed ? Any recommendation or best practice ? 3 - For example, with Auditbeat over Host we can collect all logins, Users, Processes regarding Operation System. So to get the same or similar insights for orchestration I need deploy it over kubernetes too ? Consider this for an On-Premise scenario ( StandAlone). Appreciate any help!
