@Marvin my self hosted kubernetes worker doesn't print any logs, however neither does it show any error. On the UI it says no worker is online. The worker and work pool type is kubernetes. I have setup a kubernetes container for the prefect-server and the prefect-worker

It seems you're facing an issue with your Kubernetes worker not logging or appearing online in the Prefect UI. Here are some insights and suggestions based on the Prefect documentation and GitHub issues: 1. Environment Variables: Ensure that the
PREFECT_API_URL
and
PREFECT_API_KEY
are correctly set in your Kubernetes environment. These are necessary for the worker to communicate with the Prefect server. Worker Documentation 2. Worker Status: Check the worker's status by accessing its details in the Work Pool list. This can provide insights into any issues with the worker's setup or connectivity. Worker Documentation 3. Logs and Heartbeats: If the worker is not sending logs, ensure that logging is enabled and that the worker is sending heartbeats. The
PREFECT_WORKER_HEARTBEAT_SECONDS
setting can be configured to adjust the heartbeat threshold. 4. Kubernetes Pod Issues: There are known issues with Kubernetes pods where logs might not be streamed correctly due to network issues or pod startup problems. Ensure that your Kubernetes pods have the necessary permissions and network configurations to communicate with the Prefect server. GitHub Issue 5. Version Compatibility: Verify that your Prefect server and worker versions are compatible. Some issues have been reported with specific versions, so updating to the latest stable release might resolve unexpected behavior. GitHub Issue If these steps do not resolve your issue, consider checking the Kubernetes pod logs directly for any errors or misconfigurations that might not be captured by the Prefect logs.
