Hi,

I use Metricbeat (v7.9.2) to send CPU and memory metrics of the pods to ES. When I navigate to the page Observability\>Metrics and select Docker Container, I see the container of my Pod with a CPU usage of 53.3% and a memory usage of 78.6%. If I changed my selection to Kubernets Pod, I see a CPU usage of 0.8% and a memory usage of 0.6%. Unfortunately I did not find any hint in the documentation.

I don't know if it matters, but we use Kibana version 7.8.1.

Regards  
Manuel

Ok I did find the necessary information in the [observability guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/observability/current/analyze-metrics.html), but does this mean that the docker values respect the resource settings of the pods?
