Hi Everyone I am configuring metric beat to collect Kubernetes logs ,
I am using below config
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: metricbeat-config
namespace: kube-system
labels:
app: metricbeat
data:
metricbeat.yml: |-
metricbeat.config.modules:
# Mounted `metricbeat-daemonset-modules` configmap:
path: ${path.config}/modules.d/\*.yml
# Reload module configs as they change:
reload.enabled: false
processors:
- add\_cloud\_metadata:
output.elasticsearch:
hosts: ["[http://34.69.16.96:8080/](http://34.69.16.96:8080/)"]
setup.dashboards.enabled: true
setup.kibana.host: ["[http://35.225.226.65:8080/](http://35.225.226.65:8080/)"]
#setup.kibana.protocol: "https"
setup.template.settings:
index.number\_of\_shards: 5
index.number\_of\_replicas: 1
index.number\_of\_routing\_shards: 30
And I am getting bellow error
