You dont need to enable it again if you are using filebeat.autodiscover

> Just a general question I guess since the documentation wasn't very clear to me. When running Filebeat on Kubernetes as instructed here, [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) Is the add\_kubernetes\_metadata processor supposed to be enabled by default? Or do I need to configure to enable? I'm using v7.6.

Please check it and let me know @kait
