As a brief overview on installation,  
Deployed metricbeat as a daemonset and it gathers the metrics every 30secs and has the  
Metricbeat for Kubernetes with Kubernetes module enabled. But metricbeat seems to be gathering the metrics for only the Host/EC2 and is not gathering and publishing any metrics for the Kubernetes components like Nodes, Pods, Containers etc.

Followed the documentation described on the below page ( [Elastic.co](http://Elastic.co)'s official page ) to install the metricbeat in kubernetes and am still the seeing error  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/7.2/setting-up-and-running.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/7.2/setting-up-and-running.html)

Tried to look for information on this but nothing seems to work. Curious as to why it's not working but works for the samples provided . Any help on this is apreciated.

Hello, I'm not a k8s expert but I know there is a good example for this topic. Maybe [https://github.com/elastic/examples/tree/master/scraping-prometheus-k8s-with-metricbeat](https://github.com/elastic/examples/tree/master/scraping-prometheus-k8s-with-metricbeat) will help you a bit.
