Rancher 2.x custom cluster YAML quicker node failure detection (k8s 1.13)

cluster.yml

services:
  kubelet:
    extra_args:
      node-status-update-frequency: 4s
  kube-api:
    extra_args:
      default-not-ready-toleration-seconds: 30
      default-unreachable-toleration-seconds: 30
  kube-controller:
    extra_args:
      node-monitor-period: 2s
      node-monitor-grace-period: 16s
      pod-eviction-timeout: 30s

Here is a Rancher RKE2 example

spec:
  rkeConfig:
    machineGlobalConfig:
      kube-apiserver-arg:
        - '--default-not-ready-toleration-seconds=30'
        - '--default-unreachable-toleration-seconds=30'
      kube-controller-manager-arg:
        - '--node-monitor-period=2s'
        - '--node-monitor-grace-period=16s'
        - '--pod-eviction-timeout=30s'
    machineSelectorConfig:
      - config:
          kubelet-arg:
            - '--node-status-update-frequency=4s'
            - '--max-pods=200'

Hello,

I am wondering how i can apply this to my RKE2 Cluster? When i go to the cluster in rancher i can't see edit yaml button. Any help is appreciated.

@patan32 Probably want to check rancher/rancher#43918, depending on what versions you are using it could be old/new chosen behavior or a new bug.

Here is a Rancher RKE2 example

spec:
  rkeConfig:
    machineGlobalConfig:
      kube-apiserver-arg:
        - '--default-not-ready-toleration-seconds=30'
        - '--default-unreachable-toleration-seconds=30'
      kube-controller-manager-arg:
        - '--node-monitor-period=2s'
        - '--node-monitor-grace-period=16s'
        - '--pod-eviction-timeout=30s'
    machineSelectorConfig:
      - config:
          kubelet-arg:
            - '--node-status-update-frequency=4s'
            - '--max-pods=200'

Tried on my Rancher RKE2 based cluster - can not recommend - did crash my master nodes or at least did not want to apply the settings. master nodes stuck on "waiting for kube-controller". the failed nodes told me:

EDIT: found the problem: pod-eviction-timeout was deprecated in 1.25 (kubernetes/website#39681).
