Is this error cause the empty board sometimes?

It sounds like you don't have kube-state-metrics deployed, is that the case? do you see any error in the logs?

Best regards

We have installed the kube-state-metrics. But we install Metricbeat first, then kube-state-metrics.

The only error we found in Metricbeat's log is

kubernetes/watcher.go:254 kubernetes: Watching API error EOF

Hi @zzt93, as this is not a confirmed bug, I suggest we move the conversation to https://discuss.elastic.co/c/beats, can you please open a new thread there? It usually helps if you include as much data as possible, like how are you deploying (include manifests) or full logs
