<p>I'm trying to run FileBeat on minikube following this doc with k8s 1.16
<a href="https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.4/running-on-kubernetes.html" rel="noreferrer">https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.4/running-on-kubernetes.html</a></p>

<p>I downloaded the manifest file as instructed</p>

<pre><code>curl -L -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/beats/7.4/deploy/kubernetes/filebeat-kubernetes.yaml
</code></pre>

<p>Contents of the yaml file below</p>

</code></pre>

<p>When I try the deploy step, </p>

<pre><code>kubectl create -f filebeat-kubernetes.yaml
</code></pre>

<p>I get the output + error:</p>

<p>configmap/filebeat-config created
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/filebeat created
clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/filebeat created
serviceaccount/filebeat created
error: unable to recognize "filebeat-kubernetes.yaml": no matches for kind "DaemonSet" in version "extensions/v1beta1"</p>

<p>As we can see <a href="https://kubernetes.io/blog/2019/07/18/api-deprecations-in-1-16/" rel="noreferrer">there</a></p>

<blockquote>
  <p><strong>DaemonSet</strong>, Deployment, StatefulSet, and ReplicaSet resources will no longer be served from extensions/v1beta1, apps/v1beta1, or apps/v1beta2 by default in v1.16. Migrate to the apps/v1 API</p>
</blockquote>

<p>You need to change <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/kubernetes-api/#api-versioning" rel="noreferrer">apiVersion</a></p>

<pre><code>apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1 -&gt; apiVersion: apps/v1
</code></pre>

<p>Then there is another error </p>

<p><code>missing required field "selector" in io.k8s.api.apps.v1.DaemonSetSpec;</code></p>

<p>So we have to add selector field </p>

<pre><code>spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      k8s-app: filebeat
</code></pre>

<p>Edited DaemonSet yaml:</p>

<pre><code>apiVersion: apps/v1
