Is there any way to configure heartbeat to automatically detect the ingress resources in a cluster and run a simple health-check against each of them ? Also, the heartbeat chart deploys a daemonset; is this really needed ? I get a lot of redundant data. And it scales with the cluster. Wouldn't a deployment with 2 replicas be more appropriate ? ---

What do you mean about ingress resources? Do you mean the endpoints heartbeat checks? I assume you've read our [autodiscover docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/current/configuration-autodiscover.html) already? You're 100% right about the daemonset. We are targeting the new `scope` option for autodiscover in 7.6 (see the docs [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/7.6/configuration-autodiscover.html)), which let you look at the whole k8s cluster instead of just a single pod. Also, which chart are you using? Is it [https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/heartbeat](https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/heartbeat) or [https://helm.elastic.co](https://helm.elastic.co) ---

> What do you mean about ingress resources? Do you mean the endpoints heartbeat checks? I assume you've read our [autodiscover docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/current/configuration-autodiscover.html) already? I mean k8s resources of ingress type, as per [Ingress | Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/ingress/#the-ingress-resource) I checked the autodiscoder docs, I hope I did not miss anything. And then I checked the codebase and my understanding is it's only watching pods, services and nodes [https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/master/libbeat/autodiscover/providers/kubernetes/kubernetes.go#L104](https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/master/libbeat/autodiscover/providers/kubernetes/kubernetes.go#L104) > Also, which chart are you using? Is it [https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/heartbeat](https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/heartbeat) or [https://helm.elastic.co](https://helm.elastic.co/) This one. [https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/heartbeat](https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/heartbeat) But I ended up doing my own manifests in order to move from DaemonSet to Deployment. ---
