I'm using fleet-managed elastic agents installed in k8s. I want to scrape pod metrics by HTTP API. My current config is in the following picture:

But it does not work, any suggestions?

All registered providers are enabled by default, so I don't need to config k8s provider. But I don't know why there is no data at all...

Hi @Terran_Yiu, welcome to the Elastic community again. Have you enabled the [kube-state-metrics](https://github.com/kubernetes/kube-state-metrics) ?

@ashishtiwari1993 No, but I believe that the kubelet endpoint's access permissions are sufficient to fetch pod information.

It might be helpful to include this tip in the documentation: it is necessary to install `kube-state-metrics` for Prometheus when using it in Kubernetes.

It is already mentioned in the [Getting started doc](https://www.elastic.co/getting-started/observability/monitor-kubernetes-clusters). You can follow these steps.
