Hi - I am using following configuration in filebeat to read docker container logs. kubernetes is used for docker clustering.

filebeat.autodiscover:  
providers:  
- type: kubernetes  
templates:  
- condition:  
equals:  
kubernetes.namespace: msairlines  
config:  
- type: docker  
containers.ids:  
- "${data.kubernetes.container.id}"  
exclude\_lines: ["^\s+[\-`('.|\_]"] # drop asciiart lines

I am getting below issue. Please help me to resolve.  
"Exiting: Unable to get in cluster configuration: open /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/namespace: no such file or directory"

Regards  
Venkat

Hi @Venkatesh_Radhakrish,

By default kubernetes autodiscover provider expects to be running inside the cluster, are you running it from outside?

Best regards
