Hi there.  
I'm using the prometheus module to collect Spring Boot actuator metrics from. The metrics are coming in to elasticsearch fine, but the kubernetes metadata is not added to the events. I suspect this may have to do with the indexers, but it isn't entirely clear how to set this up.

Using metricbeat 7.5.2 and this is the relevant documentation [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/7.5/add-kubernetes-metadata.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/7.5/add-kubernetes-metadata.html)

This is my configuration:

```
- module: prometheus
  namespace: jx-staging
  processors:
  - add_kubernetes_metadata:
      in_cluster: true
  - add_fields:
      target: ''
      fields:
        kubernetes.namespace: jx-staging
  hosts:
    - "xxx.jx-staging"
    - "xxx-other.jx-staging"
  period: 1m
  metrics_path: "/management/prometheus"
```
