I have ES-Beats-Kibana setup running in Kubernetes. In Kibana under Infrastructure App on Host Tab I can see all metrics (CPU, Memory, Load, In/Out Traffic & Log Rate) for all Kubernetes nodes.

But On Kubernetes Tab, I see list of all containers running in the cluster, but don't see any metric (CPU, Memory, In/Out Traffic). All these metrics are showing `0%`

I do have metricbeat & filebeat running as Daemonset in the cluster. Don't know if it doesn't collect these pod metrics or Kibana doesn't show it.

This is [manifest](https://pastebin.com/raw/Y5w5FkpR) for metricbeat

Any idea whats wrong here ?

Hi @rp346,

+1, I have the same issue.

If I use prometheus + grafana, i can see pods metrics.

So, the problem seem be due to metricbeats ...

The serviceAccount can't list some ressources:

```auto
Failed to list *v1beta1.ReplicaSet: replicasets.apps is forbidden: User "system:serviceaccount:kube-system:metricbeat" cannot list resource "replicasets" in API group "apps" at the cluster scope

```

An issue is created [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/metricbeats-on-gke-not-working-as-expected-missing-deployments-nodes-etc/204948)

The problems seem be fix in future release

To solve the problem with serviceAccount, edit the serviceaccountname `metricbeat`:

```auto
k -n kube-system edit clusterroles metricbeat

```

And change some elements:

```auto
[...]
rules:
- apiGroups:
  - ""
  - extensions
  - apps
  resources:
  - namespaces
  - pods
  - events
  - deployments
  - nodes
  - replicasets
  verbs:

  - list
  - watch

[...]

```

I updated the `metricbeat` **ClusterRole** as per your suggestion and re-deployed metricbeat. Still I don't see any metric under Kubernetes tab in Infrastructure App.

Yes Prometheus with Grafana works perfectly which has `node-exporter`.

Yes, I'am exactly in the same case of you.

Update the clusterRole don't fix the problem
