im trying to install filebat over kubernetes in a Openshift environment . the idea is use it instead openshift fluentd  
my environment is Openshift 3.6 with kubernetes 1.6 .  
ok i followed this guide [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/master/running-on-kubernetes.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/master/running-on-kubernetes.html)  
but it fails with the following error  
kubernetes: Performing a resource sync err decode error status 403: cannot decode json payload into protobuf object for \*v1.PodList

Any help is appreciate

Forget it . problem is solved  
documentation is only valid for ocp versions over 3.6  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/master/running-on-kubernetes.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/master/running-on-kubernetes.html)  
you will have to modify filebeat-kubernetes.yaml and change apiVersion for ClusterRoleBinding and ClusterRole

```auto
sed "s%rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1%v1%" filebeat-kubernetes.yaml 

```
