Hello, i am using metricbeat in kubernetes with next config

```auto
    - module: kubernetes
      metricsets:
        - node
        - system
        - pod
        - container
        - volume
      period: 10s
      host: ${NODE_NAME}
      hosts: ["https://${NODE_NAME}:10250"]
      bearer_token_file: /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token

```

In kibana i see data which reported by this module. And i want to build alert using kubernetes node metrics [Kubernetes fields | Metricbeat Reference [8.6] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/exported-fields-kubernetes.html#_node_5) especially **`kubernetes.node.status.ready`**

But when i want to create alert using this metrics, it is not available

Also if am checking this metric Infrastructure/Explorer it show me empty graph

Hello @Maksym_Postument

I think that this [thread](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-alert-on-boolean-field-possible/252715) might be similar to what you are trying to achieve. Related [PR](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/142255) was merged and this filtering should be available in version 8.6 for [Index threshold](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/rule-type-index-threshold.html) rule type.

Thank you Tetiana. I looked at thread which you shared. It is look similar, but my field is not boolean type, but keyword. Which may have one of following values true, false or unknown.

I found this [thread](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/alerts-on-kubernetes-node-status-fields/290780) which looks exactly like my issue. Trying to solution from it
