I have a problem with Metricbeat installation on my cluster. I have used a kubernetes module template:[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/master/metricbeat-module-kubernetes.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/master/metricbeat-module-kubernetes.html). In this place (at the end of the kubenetes module example): hosts: ["https://${KUBERNETES\_SERVICE\_HOST}:${KUBERNETES\_SERVICE\_PORT}"], I`ve inserted my Kubernetes API server host and port. When I try to run sudo metricbeat -c /etc/metricbeat/metricbeat.yml test config, I recieve this error: Exiting: 2 errors: 1 error: fail to get kubernetes client: Unable to get in cluster configuration: unable to load in-cluster configuration, KUBERNETES\_SERVICE\_HOST and KUBERNETES\_SERVICE\_PORT must be defined; 1 error: metricset 'kubernetes/apiserver' is not registered, metricset not found. I tried to export needed enviroment varibles, but reaction was the same. Could anyone help me to solve this problem? ---

So, i tried different approaches. Firstly, with command export KUBERNETES\_SERVICE\_HOST and PORT, i defined variables, which i found using command "kubectl cluster-info", also this variables i could find in one of clusters pods yml file as "env": [ { "name": "KUBERNETES\_SERVICE\_HOST", "value": "xxxxx" }, { "name": "KUBERNETES\_SERVICE\_PORT", "value": "xxxxx". But there were no changes in the reaction. Secondly i tried insert ENV in metricbeat yml config file. As in privious situation, reaction didn`t changed. I also delpoyed Metricbeat as a Daemon set, using kubectl create -f metricbeat-kubernetes.yaml. All works fine. Metricbeat send info about concrete node. But for visualization in kibana, i need (i think so) to send overall information about cluster (pods, nodes and so on), installing metricbeat as service on cluster. ---

Hi @b22565875b81d856c5b0, If you followed [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/running-on-kubernetes.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/running-on-kubernetes.html) and it's working, you only need to run `metricbeat setup` from any Metricbeat instance to deploy the dashboards (you can do this step from your workstation): [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/6.3/load-kibana-dashboards.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/6.3/load-kibana-dashboards.html) Best regards ---

If i will follow your instructions, i could get whole info about CLUSTER ( all nodes, all pods etc.)? ---

Hi, Yes, you should get that information if you go over instructions. Best regards ---
