Description

Problem:

I have noticed that there are differences in the breaking change page for **Kubernetes Autodiscover of all Beats** with the documentation we have publicly.

**Affected Version : 8.11**

In v8.11.0, a breaking change was introduced mentioned in below link that disables the collection of the fields `kubernetes.deployment` and `kubernetes.cronjob` by default to save some memory.
Changelog page - https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/libbeat/current/release-notes-8.11.0.html#:~:text=Pods%20that%20will%20be%20created%20from%20deployments%20or%20cronjobs%20will%20not%20have%20the%20extra%20metadata%20field%20for%20kubernetes.deployment%20or%20kubernetes.cronjob%2C%20respectively.%2036879

However in the below Documentations for Filebeat and Heartbeat we can see that these metadata's will be applied as **default**

- https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/8.11/add-kubernetes-metadata.html#add-kubernetes-metadata:~:text=enabled%3A%20false.-,deployment,-%3A%20If%20resource%20is

- https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/8.11/configuration-autodiscover.html#_kubernetes:~:text=enabled%3A%20false.-,deployment,-%3A%20If%20resource%20is
