Hi There,

Hoping someone might be able to help with getting Filebeats Autodiscovery up. I am trying to detect my Elasticsearch containers in my Kubernetes Cluster (using vanilla K8's).

Here is my proposed K8's file:

```auto
apiVersion: v1

kind: ConfigMap

metadata:

  namespace: elasticstack

  name: filebeat-configmap

  labels:

    app: elasticsearch

    role: filebeat

data:

  filebeat.yml: |  

    filebeat.autodiscover:

      providers:

        - type: kubernetes

          node: ${NODE_NAME}

          appenders:

            - condition.contains:

                kubernetes.labels.app: elasticsearch

              config:

                - module: elasticsearch

                  server:

                    enabled: true

                    var.paths:

                      - /var/log/elasticsearch/*.log

                      - /var/log/elasticsearch/*_server.json

                  gc:

                    enabled: true

                    # Set custom paths for the log files. If left empty,

                    # Filebeat will choose the paths depending on your OS.

                      - /var/log/elasticsearch/gc.log

                  audit:

                    # Set custom paths for the log files. If left empty,

                    # Filebeat will choose the paths depending on your OS.

                  slowlog:

                    enabled: true

                    # Set custom paths for the log files. If left empty,

                    # Filebeat will choose the paths depending on your OS.

                    var.paths:

                      - /var/log/elasticsearch/*_index_search_slowlog.log

The Daemonset comes online, but I do not see anything show up in Kibana or the Filebeats index. I am pretty sure the Elasticsearch containers are not being discovered and not entirely sure why. Any ideas of whats defined wrong in this configuration?
