Hi  
Using Kubernetes 1.12.7, I am attempting to bring through the kubernetes.container.memory.limit.bytes column, but there is no information being yielded.  
I am trying to use this column as the basis of a memory calculation.

I am using Metricbeat 7.2 and the yaml file does contain the container metricset option.  
Any ideas on why metricbeat and/or kubernetes is omitting this particular column?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @warnerrj79, I don't think we collect this right now with kubernetes metricbeat module. Could you create a github issue [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/new?template=feature-request.md](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/new?template=feature-request.md) for this please? We will triage it and update in the github ticket. Thanks!
