Kubernetes monitoring on CRE 2.2.0p7: No control plane nodes found

Dear Forum,

I have an RKE1 cluster on SuSE Linux Enterprise VMs running on VMWare. The Checkmk agent (RPM) was installed on all machines that form the RKE cluster.

I configured “Kubernetes monitoring” as per the documentation, and set it up to only get “Nodes” from kubernetes for the time being.

The “Nodes” service on my “dummy” host says “No control plane nodes found”.
This cluster has:

  • 3 Masters
  • 3 Infras
  • 8 Workers

So theoretically I have 11 workers resp. only 8, if I subtract the three infra nodes,
but that’s OK.

The check counts 14 workers, and probably “adds” the masters to this calculation,
while it doesn’t seem to “get” that three of those, “are” the control plane:

Here is a kubectl output for this cluster:

Any idea why the “control plane” nodes, aren’t detected properly?

Thanks in advance,
Thomas
