Hello
I've been struggling with an issue i have with metricbeats kubernetes module. Specifically the processing of kube-state-metrics.
Versions:
kube-state-metrics 2.2.4
Metricbeat/ELK 7.15
**The issue:**
Scraping of kube-state-metrics endpoint should produce _more metrics_ than it currently is. Elasticsearch dashboards expect stats on memory capacity and usage, but these aren't parsed from the kube-state-metrics endpoint. Only a small subset of data are parsed.
**Expected behavior**
Lines from kube-state-metrics looking like this
```auto
kube_node_status_capacity{node="raspberrypi-3",resource="memory",unit="byte"} 8.19253248e+09
kube_node_status_allocatable{node="raspberrypi-3",resource="memory",unit="byte"} 8.19253248e+09
```
Should be parsed into a metric looking like this
```auto
"memory": {
"allocatable": {
"bytes": 29448855552
},
"capacity": {
"bytes": 29448855552
}
},
```
**Actual behavior**
Only a few annotations/labels are sent to Elasticsearch, no memory or cpu metrics are sent. An example of what is sent is here:
```auto
"node": {
"status": {
"unschedulable": false,
"memory_pressure": "false",
"disk_pressure": "false",
"pid_pressure": "false",
"ready": "true"
},
"name": "raspberrypi-3"
},
```
**Steps taken so far:**
1. Pre-installed kube-state-metrics using prometheus community helm chart (since i run arm64 and need supported version for the platform which isn't included in the metricbeat helm chart).
2. Verified the endpoint exposes memory/cpu metrics.
3. Specify the endpoint in the following fashion in the metricbeat helm chart
```auto
- module: kubernetes
metricsets:
- state_node
period: 10s
hosts: ["kube-state-metrics.kube-system:8080"]`
```
1. Verified the data flows as expected to elastic.
2. Debugged metricbeats deployment to see it does indeed not send memory capacity/usage data for a node to Elasticsearch. And no error is present in the log.

Hi @bagdus.
Which exact version of Metricbeat are you using? Support for `kube-state-metrics` v2 was added in 7.15.1 and all newer versions.

You're right @Michalis_Katsoulis ! I was using 7.15.0. I has completely overlooked this information.
Since i needed to patch Shell4j i needed to update anyway to 7.16.1 and now it works.
Wasted a lot of time here but still glad it was easily solved.
Thanks!
