Kubespray : Netchecker connectivity check fails - kubernetes

Question

I deployed a Kubernetes (v1.17.5) cluster on OpenStack instances using Kubespray. Those instances are CentOS 7.6.1811 qcow2 images imported in Glance.
The install was successful, and I can see my nodes and pods with kubectl commands.
I used the deploy_netchecker option to deploy NetChecker and test the network within my cluster, and set network_plugin="flannel".
I also tried kube_proxy_mode="iptables", but it doesn't seem to affect the result.
That's pretty much all the changes I did in the k8s-cluster.yml file.
All the pods are running, services too :
[centos#cl1-master-0 ~]$ kubectl get svc --all-namespaces
NAMESPACE NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
default kubernetes ClusterIP 10.233.0.1 <none> 443/TCP 46h
default netchecker-service NodePort 10.233.13.213 <none> 8081:31081/TCP 46h
kube-system coredns ClusterIP 10.233.0.3 <none> 53/UDP,53/TCP,9153/TCP 46h
kube-system dashboard-metrics-scraper ClusterIP 10.233.59.12 <none> 8000/TCP 46h
kube-system kubernetes-dashboard ClusterIP 10.233.63.20 <none> 443/TCP 46h
But netchecker API gives the following answer :
[root#localhost ~]# curl http://X.X.X.X:31081/api/v1/connectivity_check
{"Message":"Connectivity check fails. Reason: there are absent or outdated pods; look up the payload","Absent":["netchecker-agent-hostnet-kk56x","netchecker-agent-hostnet-klldn","netchecker-agent-hostnet-r2vqs","netchecker-agent-hostnet-wqhjs"],"Outdated":["netchecker-agent-4jsgf","netchecker-agent-c9pcf","netchecker-agent-hostnet-jzbfv","netchecker-agent-vxgpf"]}
For an unknown reason, I cannot access the API from a cluster node with localhost, so I used a floating IP with OpenStack.
Here are some logs from the agent :

Logs from the server do not indicate any error.
I tried to check DNS resolve with the following :
[centos#cl1-master-0 ~]$ kubectl exec -it netchecker-agent-4jsgf -- /bin/sh
/ $ nslookup kubernetes.default
Server: 169.254.25.10
Address 1: 169.254.25.10
nslookup: can't resolve 'kubernetes.default'
[centos#cl1-master-0 ~]$ kubectl exec -it netchecker-agent-4jsgf -- cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 169.254.25.10
search default.svc.cluster.local svc.cluster.local cluster.local openstacklocal
options ndots:5
169.254.25.10 is the IP of the nodelocaldns, but it doesn't seem to query the coredns service deployed.
When I use nslookup netchecker-service.default.svc.cluster.local 10.233.0.3, with the coredns IP, I get a correct answer.
What can be wrong with my configuration ?
Thanks in advance
UPDATE : The plugin Flannel has an issue and contains a fix to apply on all nodes of the cluster. Once done, the pods successfully report back to the netchecker server.
