kubelet reading from wrong config file? - kubernetes

Question

When I run kubelet version I get an error message ending in:
error: failed to run Kubelet: failed to create kubelet: misconfiguration: kubelet cgroup driver: "cgroupfs" is different from docker cgroup driver: "systemd"
But when I check the config file located at /etc/systemd/system/kubelet.service.d/10-kubeadm.conf, I see the value IS systemd. I have changed the value and done a systemctl daemon-reload and systemctl restart kubelet in between each change and the error message is always the same.
I am guessing it must be reading from the wrong config file, but how can I find where it is reading from!

try this:
kubelet --cgroup-driver=systemd version
The "docker" package (1.13.1) already has "systemd" as the default cgroup-driver, see this.
The file driver is systemd changed by default cgroupfs, and docker file driver we installed is systemd caused by inconsistency, which causes the image to fail to start.
docker info
...
Cgroup Driver: systemd
There are two ways now, one is to modify docker, the other is to modify kubelet,
Modify docker: #
Modify or create /etc/docker/daemon.json and add the following:
{
"exec-opts": ["native.cgroupdriver=systemd"]
}
Restart docker:
systemctl restart docker
systemctl status docker
Modify kubelet: #
vim /etc/systemd/system/kubelet.service.d/10-kubeadm.conf
# Note: This dropin only works with kubeadm and kubelet v1.11+

Add the following content --cgroup-driver=systemd to $KUBELET_EXTRA_ARGS.
Or:
$ DOCKER_CGROUPS=$(docker info | grep 'Cgroup' | cut -d' ' -f3)
$ echo $DOCKER_CGROUPS
$ cat >/etc/sysconfig/kubelet<<EOF
KUBELET_CGROUP_ARGS="--cgroup-driver=$DOCKER_CGROUPS"
EOF
#restart
$ systemctl daemon-reload
$ systemctl enable kubelet && systemctl restart kubelet
Or:
DOCKER_CGROUPS=$(docker info | grep 'Cgroup' | cut -d' ' -f3)
echo $DOCKER_CGROUPS
cat >/etc/sysconfig/kubelet<<EOF
KUBELET_EXTRA_ARGS="--cgroup-driver=$DOCKER_CGROUPS"
EOF
# restart
$ systemctl daemon-reload
$ systemctl enable kubelet && systemctl restart kubelet
