Hi,

We are using Metricbeat in our Kubernetes cluster, but it seems Metricbeat doesn't collect any metrics for our CronJob pods when they run. I tried searching for any data in the Discover tab, but no results.

Can anyone confirm whether this is actually a lack of support, or we are doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Hi @mdibaiee 🙂

I'm afraid that we don't have support for Cronjobs in K8s yet. I suggest you to open a [GH](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/new?template=feature-request.md) issue if you think that it will be useful 🙂
