Hi all,

**Kibana version** : 7.7.1  
**Elasticsearch version** : 7.7.1  
**APM Server version** : 7.7.1  
**APM Agent language and version** : Java, 1.17.0

I have set up an elasticsearch, kibana and apm server in a VM , and an spring-boot-application with the apm java agent in openshift 3.11. My APM dahsboard already working perfectly but when I read the document I cannot find kubernetes metadata. I only find kubernetes.pod.name and kubernetes.pod.uid.

How can I get all kubernetes metadata from with elastic APM? especially kubernetes.namespace? [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/server/master/exported-fields-kubernetes-processor.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/server/master/exported-fields-kubernetes-processor.html)

Thank you
