Hi, I was wondering if there's any way to monitor nginx inside openshift service with metricbeat & filebeat. Can anyone help me with this?

Hi @Ivan_Hosea. You can refer the the official docs for running (file/metric)beat on OpenShift [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/master/running-on-kubernetes.html#_red_hat_openshift_configuration). Additionally, you may want to make use of the autodiscovery([here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/configuration-autodiscover.html)) to enable the proper modules. These should help you get started.

If for example I want to monitor redis for containers that have redis image plus their infrastructure, and just monitor infrastructure for the rest, do I need to create different templates? What do I need to add in this configuration below to do that?
```auto
metricbeat.autodiscover:
providers:
- type: kubernetes
scope: cluster
node: ${NODE_NAME}
# In large Kubernetes clusters consider setting unique to false
# to avoid using the leader election strategy and
# instead run a dedicated Metricbeat instance using a Deployment in addition to the DaemonSet
unique: true
templates:
- config:
- module: kubernetes
hosts: ["kube-state-metrics:8080"]
period: 10s
add_metadata: true
metricsets:
- state_node
- state_deployment
- state_daemonset
- state_replicaset
- state_pod
- state_container
- state_job
- state_cronjob
- state_resourcequota
- state_statefulset
- state_service
- state_persistentvolume
- state_persistentvolumeclaim
- state_storageclass
# If `https` is used to access `kube-state-metrics`, uncomment following settings:
# bearer_token_file: /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token
# ssl.certificate_authorities:
# - /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/service-ca.crt
- module: kubernetes
metricsets:
- apiserver
hosts: ["https://${KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST}:${KUBERNETES_SERVICE_PORT}"]
bearer_token_file: /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token
ssl.certificate_authorities:
- /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/ca.crt
period: 30s
# Uncomment this to get k8s events:
#- module: kubernetes
# metricsets:
# - event
# To enable hints based autodiscover uncomment this:
#- type: kubernetes
# node: ${NODE_NAME}
# hints.enabled: true
```
The metricbeat autodiscover manifest above is from the default metricbeat kubernetes deployment file here: [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/beats/master/deploy/kubernetes/metricbeat-kubernetes.yaml](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/beats/master/deploy/kubernetes/metricbeat-kubernetes.yaml)
Also, does the metricbeat monitors all pods / service / deployments? If so, is there any way to filter it?
