Metricbeat Host Metadata on Kubernetes

[RdrgPorto (Rodrigo Porto)]

Hi everyone,

I am currently working with Metricbeat in order to monitor Kubernetes. I'm using Metricbeat manifest from Beats Github (Link).

I am testing a new feature called host metadata . If I use this new feature, Metricbeat sends information from the container. I would like to know if there is any possibility to send information from the node itself, instead of the container.

Thanks in advance ,

Regards

Hi @RdrgPorto,

Metricbeat uses network related calls to retrieve this info. I'm wondering, did you disable hostNetwork: true from the manifest? That should make the container to pick net info from the host. I haven't tested this though...

Hi, @exekias

Regarding to retrieve network information, it is fine. However, my doubt is about host info ( host.os.family, host.os.platform, and so on). My Kubernetes is on Ubuntu 16.04.

Here you are some screenshots:

With hostNetwork: false

With hostNetwork: true

Is it possible to get information from host ?

Thanks in advance ,
