Hi experts, I try to create an event which refers to cluster-scoped resources in involvedObject . If I use below yaml, I get this error The Event "master-0.zwg98" is invalid: involvedObject.namespace: Invalid value: "": does not match event.namespace , than, I remove the eventTime or set it to null, the event will be created successfully.
I want to know how to use eventTime in kubernetes events, please come up with some idea for me to understand this issue
