ID: 12782 Title: Activate inventory for kubernetes objects Component: HW/SW Inventory Level: 1 Class: Bug fix Version: 2.1.0i1 A host is created for each kubernetes endpoint. On a checkmk site with disabled inventory (the default) the endpoint host does not have any services. As Hosts without services are invalid, checkmk automatically adds a ping service which fails, because the endpoint host is created from piggyback data and ist not reachable. The error message looks like: "check_icmp: No hosts to check" This werk adds the label "cmk/kubernetes:yes" to kubernetes related hosts, so the issue can now be fixed by creating an inventory rule that activates the inventory on kubernetes endpoint hosts: Go to "Setup" &rarr; "HW/SW inventory rules" &rarr; "Do hardware/software inventory" &rarr; "Create rule in folder": <ul> <li>"Status data inventory" &rarr; "Do status data inventory"</li> <li>"Host labels" &rarr; "has" &rarr; "cmk/kubernetes:yes"</li> &rarr; Save This werk alters the default configuration. Sites created with checkmk 2.0.0p4 or later automatically enable the inventory for kubernetes objects.
