"Error initializing Kubernetes metadata enricher"

Elastic Stack Beats
1

When I run Metricbeat as a service on a Windows node of a Kubernetes cluster, I get multiple errors in the log:

ERROR util/kubernetes.go:106 Error initializing Kubernetes metadata enricher: unable to build kube config due to error: invalid configuration: no configuration has been provided

Metricbeat version 7.4.0, kubectl version 1.14.3.

What is wrong? What am I missing? What should I do to fix it?
