Code change:
I was trying a scenario where liveness/readiness probe command run inside the container for long time('sleep 10 && exit 10') with shorter timeoutSecod value say 2 Sec. As expected container restarted because of timeout but when i check the events in pod describe it stated only unhealthy and in events actual reason for probe failure is not printed "liveness probe failed:<'no reason printed'". Without clear logs or pod events description it is very difficult to debug and understand what is the failure. Below is the example manifest file to reproduce the issue. apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: labels: test: liveness name: liveness-exec spec: containers: name: liveness image: args: /bin/sh -c touch /tmp/healthy; sleep 30; rm -rf /tmp/healthy; sleep 600 readinessProbe: exec: command: [/bin/sh, -c , 'sleep 10 && exit10'] initialDelaySeconds: 5 periodSeconds: 5 timeoutSeconds: 2 livenessProbe: exec: command: [/bin/sh, -c ,'sleep 5 && exit10'] initialDelaySeconds: 5 periodSeconds: 5 timeoutSeconds: 2 It would be better if actual reason or something for probe failure printed in pod describe events incase of liveness/readiness probe gets timeout. Example like below in pod describe events: Warning Unhealthy 3s (x2 over 8s) kubelet Liveness probe failed: "probe failed due to timeout " Warning Unhealthy 3s (x2 over 8s) kubelet Readiness probe failed: "probe failed due to timeout " ! It would be better if actual reason or something for probe failure printed in pod describe events incase of liveness/readiness probe gets timeout. Example like below in pod describe events: Warning Unhealthy 3s (x2 over 8s) kubelet Liveness probe failed: "probe failed due to timeout " Warning Unhealthy 3s (x2 over 8s) kubelet Readiness probe failed: "probe failed due to timeout " Below is the example manifest file to reproduce the issue. apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: labels: test: liveness name: liveness-exec spec: containers: name: liveness image: args: /bin/sh -c touch /tmp/healthy; sleep 30; rm -rf /tmp/healthy; sleep 600 readinessProbe: exec: command: [/bin/sh, -c , 'sleep 10 && exit10'] initialDelaySeconds: 5 periodSeconds: 5 timeoutSeconds: 2 livenessProbe: exec: command: [/bin/sh, -c ,'sleep 5 && exit10'] initialDelaySeconds: 5 periodSeconds: 5 timeoutSeconds: 2 Create a pod using above manifest file and do pod describe (kubectl describe pod <pod-name ) and check for the events. !

can I work on this issue? Thanks very much. /assign
We've experienced this issue with clusters on v1.20. The for that version mention the following change: Since v1.20 is seemingly when exec probe timeouts started being enforced, would it be possible to have this fix for this issue backported to all minor versions since then? Thanks!
bump on that question
What do you think of? Thanks very much.
