We are using a provisioned OpenShift cluster which provides its system metrics from Prometheus to a Kafka topic.

Since we are not able to run privileged daemonsets, I would like to know if there is a way to still ingest that kafka-topics metrics into Elastic as if they were coming from metricsbeats so we can still have the nice dashboards and everything in one place?
