Hi,

I have the following config:

```
# Kubernetes API server
# (when running metricbeat as a pod)
- module: kubernetes
  enabled: true
  metricsets:
    - apiserver
  hosts: ["localhost:8080"]

```

Metricbeat is run as a daemonset in the cluster.

I get the following error:

```
2019-07-02T11:39:23.371Z	ERROR	kubernetes/util.go:90	kubernetes: Querying for pod failed with error: kubernetes api: Failure 404 pods "master0.kube" not found

```

When I am trying to achieve is to get infrastructure \>\> Kubernetes tab to work with resource metrics that comes up as no data:
