Thanks, are you trying to use kubernetes/proxy metricset with 7.2 docker image? I believe kubernetes/proxy will be available in 7.3 so that's why you are getting this error.

Thanks, so my elk is in 7.2 is it fine to run the metric beat on 7.3 ? However 7.3 is not there.
```
docker pull docker.elastic.co/beats/metricbeat:7.3.0
Trying to pull repository docker.elastic.co/beats/metricbeat ...
manifest for docker.elastic.co/beats/metricbeat:7.3.0 not found

🙂 yeah, we are still in the process of releasing 7.3. We don't have a known date, but it will probably be released in a few weeks! Sorry about the inconvenience!
