When running Docker for Windows, the level of detail in the logs for kube-apiserver is relatively low. Since the k8s node is hosted in a VM it is not obvious where to make changes to the default configuration.
First, log in to the VM using the technique in this article. Once logged in to a Unix shell, execute:
cd /var/lib/kubeadm/manifests
.. then edit the kube-apiserver.yaml using an editor such as:
vi kube-apiserver.yaml
Add a new line, --v=4 in the spec section that determines the command:
spec:
containers:
- command:
- kube-apiserver
- --v=4 Save the updates, then kill the kube-apiserver pod so that it restarts with the new configuration.
