Kubernetes plugins upgrade for kubernetes > 1.18?

Hey Daniel,
It is actually not us being not able to keep up, it is Kubernetes not being able to keep up with itself (we used to use the official Python client to query the Kubernetes API, which always lags behind it).

That’s why we changed the approach for the new Kubernetes monitoring. There is a new ruleset called Kubernetes in 2.1.0. The old one is now called Kubernetes (deprecated). You need to configure the new ruleset and get rid off the old deprecated one.
Follow the instructions on checkmk_kube_agent/deploy/charts/checkmk at 1.0.0 · tribe29/checkmk_kube_agent · GitHub

The new monitoring has been tested on K8s 1.21 to 1.23. This is also the official support scope of the new monitoring (latest 3 versions).

Beside of waiting/using CheckMK 2.1 is there any solution for the 2.0 Branch Monitoring K3/8s ?

Unfortunately not, as we spent one year on reworking the entire thing. Porting this massive change back to a 2.0 is not feasible. But things are looking good at the moment that 2.1 will be available rather sooner than later.

By the way, if you want to take a glimpse at the new Kubernetes monitoring, take a look at this: New Kubernetes Monitoring in Checkmk 2.1 | March Community Call - YouTube
Also featuring an unplanned painful debugging session…

Ok, thanks for the response. I will probably soon update and test checkMK 2.1.0 with the new ruleset.
