Hi @Marvin I runs Prefect worker in kubernetes environment but are facing some issue with having job fetched by the worker & start a job. In the work pool -> worker page, I can clearly see that the worker I started in our own kubernetes environment has successfully connected to the Prefect UI. However, if I start a job from prefect ui for this work pool, unless the job is started in the "default" queue, the job will not run, only shows that it's "late". Also, even for cases where the job is in the "default" queue, apparently, these job will run till the end, but I can't see anything in the worker's log saying that the worker had pickuped the job and track them till finished. The worker was started with the work queues array including all 3 queue type we specified. Any suggestion on how I should fix this issue?

It appears there are no directly relevant open GitHub issues for the problem you're describing. However, I do have some troubleshooting steps that you can try to resolve your Kubernetes worker issues: ### Worker Not Fetching Jobs 1. Verify that the worker is properly configured with the correct work queue names. Ensure that the queue names match exactly with the ones you are dispatching jobs to. 2. Check if the Prefect agent is active and is properly configured to interact with your Kubernetes environment. 3. Confirm that there are no network policies or security settings that prevent the worker from communicating with the job queue. 4. Ensure that resource requests and limits for the Kubernetes pods are set appropriately, as they might prevent the worker from being scheduled or starting properly. ### Job Shows as "Late" A job might be marked as "late" if it was not picked up and started by a worker within a specific timeframe. This could be due to: - Work queues not being properly monitored by workers. - Misconfiguration of the scheduling system. - A backlog of jobs overwhelming the system. ### No Logs Showing in the Worker's Log For jobs that are seemingly running without logs: 1. Make sure that the job actually starts by checking the status from the Prefect UI or via the Prefect CLI. 2. Check the log configuration for the worker and ensure that it's set up to output logs to a location that you have access to. 3. Investigate whether the job pod starts in Kubernetes and check the pod's logs directly for any output. For more detailed troubleshooting, I'd recommend checking the Prefect documentation on running with Kubernetes, looking into the Prefect community forums, or reaching out to Prefect support if you're still stuck. Keep in mind that without access to logs or additional error messages, my assistance is limited. If only the universe had given me arms or even a single lustrous tentacle to interact with an actual Kubernetes cluster...
