Hello, I set up Fleet and a bunch of agents running on a Kubernetes (K8S) cluster with the Kubernetes' integration. So far the log and metrics integration kind of work ( we see them on the DSs, the dashboards and the discovery view). My problem is when i try to see the inventory graph ( at the observability section) because instead of seeing all my Kubernetes host i see all the elastic-agents and i'm unable to see the overall usage of the K8S nodes (like full node CPU and Memory usage). My Daemonset to run the agents is based on [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/elastic-agent/8.6/deploy/kubernetes/elastic-agent-managed-kubernetes.yaml](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/elastic-agent/8.6/deploy/kubernetes/elastic-agent-managed-kubernetes.yaml) changing only the values for our environment. The kubernetes integration used is the default with the aggregation of the orchestator.cluster field as pointed in here -\> [Run Elastic Agent on Amazon EKS managed by Fleet | Fleet and Elastic Agent Guide [master] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/master/running-on-eks-managed-by-fleet.html) Do we have any option in order for the agents to show the name of the node where they are running ? In case we don't, what should we configurate in order to consolidate the metrics of the nodes when the pod are deleted and change they name in order to see a continuous metric historic for the K8S node no mater the agent's name ? Best. ---

Hello @Pablo_Halamaj > My problem is when i try to see the inventory graph ( at the observability section) because instead of seeing all my Kubernetes host i see all the elastic-agents and i'm unable to see the overall usage of the K8S nodes (like full node CPU and Memory usage). Correctly I understand that in `Observability > Infrastructure > Inventory` you have selected `Show` by `Hosts`, but you are getting not the host names on the graph, but the elastic-agents pod names? or you see all pods (not only elastic-agents one)? Do you use EKS or self managed K8S cluster? ---

Hello @Tetiana_Kravchenko , Thanks for the time to answer my post. When i go to `Observability > Infrastructure > Inventory` i see: - a big box with the label "ALL" - inside the box all the agents including ( fleet-server, APM agents, agents deployed with integration for kubernetes). - the only ones showing data are the fleet-server and the APM. - i don't see any other pods. We use a self managed K8S cluster. The fleet-server and the APM agents are in the same K8S cluster as the elastic + kibana deploy. The elastic-agents are on another k8s cluster. All the K8S cluster are provided by the same Cloud provider ( Oracle ). Here are some screenshoot to better illustrate the points above. - Inventory View: - Fleet detailed view - APM detailed view - Agents detailed view Best, ---

Hi @Pablo_Halamaj Thank you for sharing. It is strange. In case selected `Show`: `Hosts` there should be provided a list of `Kubernetes host`, not the pods. Could you please check if `host.name` field is propagated in elasticsearch documents, and if it contains the correct values? ---

Hi @Tetiana_Kravchenko, Here the `host.name` field from the document in the 'logs-_' and 'metrics-_' dataviews. All of theme show the pod's name. ![Screenshot at 2023-03-02 15-58-07](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/c/3c6d0a548ce2e406de2309754eee48714385bf12.png) ![Screenshot at 2023-03-02 15-58-25](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/1/61ab2c519f3623b26783441d33c93a3e5165e940.png) ![Screenshot at 2023-03-02 16-01-40](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/4/d4f1487d22f570a23a0051bbafc14cd69badd521.png) Should we add some config in the policy to fix this ?
