Hi all.  
I am testing filebeat on a minikube where I have a few pods and I send the logs to a local logstah and its job is to forward the logs to Elastic/kibana node on AWS.

I can see some fields in the logs like **host.id** and so on with the t as type but the kubernetes one like **?** kubernetes.pod.name have the ? symbol.  
Do you know why? Cause I can choose them when I try to create a visualization and so on.

Maybe metricbeat would be more appropriate for this purpose?

Cheers
