Hi,

From my previous post, i was able to enable Kibana dashboards for kubernetes monitoring with elatic agent. Agent is installed via manifest provided by elastic, just changed node\_name to node\_ip and changed namespace prefix pointing from elastic to kube\_stats.  
Unfortunately, Kubernetes overview dashboard show overall info, but not CPU/RAM usage of pods. From where are those metrics collected, and what could be the cause? Or what should i check? Thank you

Hello @rara01

I see that data is populated for this dashboard =\> [Metrics Kubernetes] Cluster Overview

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/2/a2e154491fdf386b3375baed14ecde361142b150.png)

Maybe we need to verify =\> Collect Kubernetes metrics from Kubelet API , verify if the Hosts entry is correct.

In the metrics index see check if the below field is populated as it is used in lens =\> Top CPU intensive pods per Node  
kubernetes.pod.cpu.usage.node.pct

Thanks!!

Hi,

Sorry for delay. Hosts entry should be correct. The field you mentioned is empty field in the index.

Another problem that occured is that i don’t have cluster name in the dashboard. I tried to add it with processor, but it didn’t work.
