Kubelet stopped posting node status

I saw the “Kubelet stopped posting node status” while studying.
Possibly kubelet process on the node is not working fine. Approach would be as the below.

  • ssh to the node
  • systemctl status kubectl <== Check service status
  • systemctl restart kubectl <== Try restart the service
  • journalctl -u kubectl <== If restart fails, check service log to find more detail for the failure, fix, restart
