/hostfs/sys/fs/cgroup/io.stat: input does not match format

Hi,

I am getting constantly the following errormessage in my metricbeat logs:

[elastic_agent.metricbeat][error] error getting cgroup stats for V2: error fetching stats for controller io: error fetching IO stats: error getting io.stats for path /hostfs/sys/fs/cgroup: error scanning file: /hostfs/sys/fs/cgroup/io.stat: input does not match format

Additionally I have trouble to get detailed io metrics from my docker containers using the docker integration.
As this is the only errormessage I see in the logs, I believe that this is thightly connected to each other.

However - when I run "docker stats" I do see all the stats for each container, but elastic agent / metricbeats is not able to pick these up and deliver themt to ES.

The host system is a raspberry pi 4:

$ uname -a
Linux 5.15.76-v8+ #1597 SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 4 12:16:41 GMT 2022 aarch64 GNU/Linux
$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="11"
VERSION="11 (bullseye)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bullseye
ID=debian

I also doublechecked that the required cgroup controllers mapped and enabled:

$ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.controllers
cpuset cpu io memory pids

Additionally i verified that tie io.stat delivers informations:

$ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/io.stat
179:0 rbytes=1715794944 wbytes=2942546944 rios=36193 wios=353651 dbytes=0 dios=0

At this point I am running out of ideas what else could be wrong or missing.

Any ideas in the community?
