Metricbeats on GKE not working as expected - Missing deployments, nodes, etc

Elastic Stack Beats
1

I followed everything as the tutorial is saying: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/running-on-kubernetes.html

But I still don't get my nodes and deployments status:

I have kube-state-metrics running, when I see the logs on the metricbeat pod I get the following error:

"github.com/elastic/beats/libbeat/common/kubernetes/watcher.go:235: Failed to list *v1beta1.ReplicaSet: replicasets.apps is forbidden: User "system:serviceaccount:kube-system:metricbeat" cannot list resource "replicasets" in API group "apps" at the cluster scope"

That's a known issue, will be fixed at next release

Is there a workaround? Other than downgrading to 7.3.

4

@pmercado, can you tell when the next release is likely to become available?

5

@pmercado, I upgraded Metricbeat to 7.5.0 and still don't get per-node network, CPU and process metrics and nanocores counts. Should I try 8.0 from git?

Same here! The metrics are still missing...

7

It's the same too on 7.5 version, metrics data are still missing.

Did you try to execute the yaml as an admin in GKE? See in the documentation.
