Before opening a Bug, opening this issue as requested.

According to the docs here:

> **[Kubernetes fields | Metricbeat Reference \[8.14\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/exported-fields-kubernetes.html)**

The kubernetes.container.cpu.usage.node.pct and kubernetes.container.memory.usage.node.pct are supposed to report the node _allocatable_ usage percentages, however they actually report node capacity percentages.

The relevant code is here:

> <https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/c77302852ef913c7b4e1ed521528df9a7e8ca55d/metricbeat/module/kubernetes/util/kubernetes.go#L627>

Indeed changing the the code from "Capacity" to "Allocatable" in the line above fixes the problem. I notice the Memory usage calculation is also likewise incorrect on line 632 of the above source.

Can this be fixed please?

Thanks,

Kevin
