Metricbeat Podman Container Metrics

Hi everyone,

I'm currently running Metricbeat inside a Podman container, and I'm trying to collect metrics from other containers.

So far, I'm successfully receiving data from the following metricsets:

  • cpu
  • network
  • container

However, I'm running into issues with the following:

  • The diskio metricset is present, but all values are zero.
  • The memory and info metricsets are not returning any data at all.

Interestingly, I'm also getting metrics from the system module (that is not even configured in the metricbeat.yml) , and all metricsets are working fine . This includes CPU, memory, filesystem, and disk metrics.

My setup:

  • Metricbeat version: 8.17.7
  • Metricbeat is configured with the docker module enabled and pointed to the Podman socket (run/user/$USERID/podman/podman.sock is mounted into the container).

I’m wondering if this could be a limitation of Podman.

Has anyone encountered similar issues or have suggestions on how to get the missing metricsets working?

Thanks in advance!
