[With this](https://github.com/elastic/examples/blob/master/MonitoringKubernetes/packetbeat-kubernetes.yaml) as reference I created a daemonset for packetbeat. It seems kibana is not getting resolved properly due to which packet beat keeps failing.

Here is the packetbeat.yaml file for reference:

```

Also is there any possiblity to apply packetbeat to trafeik/kubernetes network? As in kubernetes cluster port 80,443 may not be using nodeports and might use ingress controllers in such cases network activity monitioring is questionable.
