Hello, I'm checking [Quickstart | Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes [2.10] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-quickstart.html) and deployed elasticsearch + kibana on IKS with no major issues. Now I'm trying to deploy fluentd with helm chart > helm install stable/fluentd-elasticsearch and obviously receive some security error.

Hello, it looks like that chart has been deprecated but the new repo documents how to add ES auth (the `elasticsearch.auth` config section): > **[kiwigrid/helm-charts](https://github.com/kiwigrid/helm-charts/tree/master/charts/fluentd-elasticsearch)** > > Kiwigrid Helm charts for Kubernetes.

@Anya_Sabo Do you have any idea how to fix this issue with fluentd on IBM IKS? > I need Dockerfile which is used for helmchart [kiwigrid/helm-charts](https://github.com/kiwigrid/helm-charts/tree/master/charts/fluentd-elasticsearch) Because these Dockerfiles are different [https://github.com/fluent/fluentd-kubernetes-daemonset/tree/master/docker-image/v1.4](https://github.com/fluent/fluentd-kubernetes-daemonset/tree/master/docker-image/v1.4) ---

Hey @O_K, can you clarify what problem you're having? That said I'm not too familiar with the different fluentd charts, so if those are what you're having issues with it may be more helpful to go through the support routes those projects use. ---

On IBM IKS there is some mounting issue while using fluentd helm chart (I think I could fix it after playing with fluentd Dockerfile I found) for docker log volumes (/var/log/pods /var/log/containers), all in all, I started using Filebeat instead of fluentd and it works for me, at least I can see PODs logs in Kibana ---
