Hello, can anyone help me with metricbeats.  
I have a kubernetes cluster 1.16 and I installed metricbeat, it work but i got 1 error:  
instance/metrics.go:285 error getting group status: open /proc/5806/cgroup: no such file or directory

In my conf files - "-system.hostfs=/hostfs",  
but container trying to find cgroup /proc/pid/cgroup  
I think the right way should be - /hostfs/proc/pid/cgroup. Why metricbeat ignoring system.hostsfs ?
