Thanks!--What happened: The cluster started giving a lot of NODE DENY error in the log corresponding to restarting kube-apiserver make another one crash in a 3 apiserver setup. (say systemctl restart kube-apiserver on controller-1 will crash controller 2 or 3) It's as if node were show as but were not registered anymore?!

/cc seems that it's the graph in node authz is not ready to hande requests. probably respecting infomer's func can make it initialized gracefully. while the log you provides didn't show why the apiserver's crushed. could you provide more detail?
if this occurred right at server start, it is expected the graph will take a short amount of time to populate
If you tell me what more info you need, I'll be glad to provide you with it, maybe the apiserver flags used? Also, I restart the one crash-dumping, one of the other two will start outputting the same dump. Looking back at the logs, this seems to have started when I moved from 1.10.3 to 1.12.1 (now 1.12.2), I just hadn't realized it until recently as we had a big cluster wide problem yesterday and had to investigate some more. But it is still outputting this same dump non-stop even though it seems to be working at the moment and that API server does respond to kubectl commands without issues. Any specific info you'd like me to get?
from the stack trace, sadly we can't find out which exact line trigger that nil pointer panic. the behavior of apiserver could be unstable on the fresh start (due to rbac authz, crd-apiservice registration, etc). are we planing a graceful start mechanism for the server?
the apiserver endpoint is used to determine if the server is ready to accept traffic, and will not return a 200 response until those startup tasks have completed
/healthz does respond (200), while still crash-dump-looping. EDIT: anything I can test specifically to help differentiate between RBAC authz, crd-apiservice reg, etc?
right, I was saying that is the mechanism for graceful startup. unfortunately, the way golang works, if you propagate a panic (), you lose all stack information from it by default. Some of our panic propagation logs or preserves that, but not all.

I'll open a fix to preserve that information. we can see the request that errored, though: can you see if the same resource (autoscaling/v2beta1/horizontalpodautoscalers) is what causes the panic each time? if so, can you check that resource per namespace to isolate a particular problematic object? those are not related to the panic, as far as I can tell
Still reading, but: Did you skip 1.11? Skipping releases isn't actually supported.
Right now, having been up for a while, it alternates almost perfectly (E114 sometime coming twice in a row) between E114 and I114, basically once per second. These two errors correspond to the one you quoted (HPA) & the other to the HTTP2 panic. The cluster was upgraded from 1.10.3 to 1.12.1 (to 1.12.2) and from what I could gather last week, this started after the upgrade to 1.12.x branch but we didn't realize it until we had to investigate a cluster issue 3 weeks after the upgrade.
Yes, I did, I didn't know that... should I roll back to 1.11 and than back again to 1.12? Or what are the effects and what can be done?
There's at least two things going wrong, one is: the other is whatever is actually crashing. At this point I'm not sure if rolling back to 1.11 would make things worse or better, if your cluster is functioning I probably wouldn't do; if your cluster is nonfunctional and you need it fixed then I might roll the dice. I think we should be able to get a fix for the first thing out soon, but it'll be a while before you'd be able to deploy it unless you're willing to build your own apiserver & run it.
So, any way to diagnose what should have been updated in, I guess, etcd? I mean, is this similar to a schema change that is missing some steps? Thanks!
callstack logging fixed in and
Any chance this will also get merged in 1.12.3 so I could get a meaningful crash dump with the fix?

:)
sure, this will get into 1.12.3 via
So here is the new dump I've got under 1.12.3: Does it make more sense to anyone and is it pointing to the reason for the stack dump?
apologise, it didn't get into 1.12.3. (i thought it would). if you don't feel like waiting until next release, how about building ur own apiserver from release-1.12 HEAD as suggests? (run under this project)
Oh well, I can wait for 1.12.4... (Building it didn't work out and I'd have to build a custom docker, etc. I'll wait for the next release...)
We have the same issue and we reproduced with new kubernetes api-server Stacktrace:
thx for providing the clue! fixed via
