E0503 08:10:22.781361 1 watch.go:43] Watch subnets: client: etcd cluster is unavailable or misconfigured; error #0: unexpected EOF E0503 08:15:08.904157 1 watch.go:171] Subnet watch failed: client: etcd cluster is unavailable or misconfigured; error #0: unexpected EOFEnvironment
- Platform9 Managed Kubernetes - v5.3 and Higher
- Flannel CNI
- AWS ELB
Cause
- This is a known upstream issue with Flannel https://github.com/flannel-io/flannel/issues/508 and https://github.com/flannel-io/flannel/issues/528 where AWS ELB close inactive connection and flannel trying reconnect.
- There are NO impacts and these logs can be ignored.
Resolution
- Increase the ELD idle timeout from AWS console (under Load Balancing -> Loadbalancers -> Healthcheck -> Edit Health Check -> Response Timeout.)
Timeout value will be reset on any cluster update operation so should reapply post upgrade.
