# Kubernetes Worker Node Reporting NotReady post Kubelet Service Restart

## Problem

The worker node is reporting as NotReady.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="kubectl describe node" %}

```none
Reason:KubeletNotReady Message:container runtime status check may not have completed yet
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

Below messages are recorded in the kubelet logs of the affected node.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="/var/log/pf9/kubelet/kubelet.INFO" %}

```none

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Environment

* Platform9 Managed Kubernetes - v4.4 and Higher

## Cause

These messages are reported while the *pf9-kubelet* service is restarted on the node. As we can see from the messages the node went from NotReady to Ready state within seconds.

## Resolution

Once the *pf9-kubelet* service restart is completed the node would be reported as Ready. Verify the restart time for the *pf9-kubelet* service on the affected node.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="None" %}

```none
# systemctl status pf9-kubelet
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
