# "loopyWriter.run returning. connection error" messages in the kube-apiserver pod logs

## Problem

* Why do we have below mentioned messages continuously getting logged in kube-apiserver logs?

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Error" %}

```javascript
transport: loopyWriter.run returning. connection error: desc = \"transport is closing\"
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Environment

* Platform9 Managed Kubernetes – All Versions
* Upstream Kubernetes Releases - till v1.21

## Cause

* Those messages are generated by the gRPC layer whenever a connection to etcd is closed, and they are not a symptom of an issue.

## Resolution

There is no workaround that will reduce or prevent these messages from being logged as of now, however they have been suppressed by a patch to upstream kubernetes and are expected to not be logged in future Platform9 Managed Kubernetes releases that are based on kubernetes v1.22 or greater.
