What is the source of kubernetes.pod.memory.usage.bytes and kubernetes.pod.cpu.usage.nanocores metrics?

Elastic Stack Beats

I am wondering where the metrics kubernetes.pod.memory.usage.bytes and kubernetes.pod.cpu.usage.nanocores in metricbeat are obtained from? Are they OS statistics? If so, which statistic? I am trying to compare them against kubectl top

I believe these metrics are from stats/summary endpoint based on the code: beats/pod.go at master · elastic/beats · GitHub

@ChrsMark Please correct me if I'm wrong here. TIA!

That's correct. These are metrics collected from kubelet's endpoint Kaiyan provided above.

So, from that it looks like both metricbeat and kubectl top use the same source:

Kubectl top uses Metrics Server
