…of kubelet event text
The [sig-node] Probe configuration terminationGracePeriodSeconds tests
matched a hardcoded substring ("Container started") against the
kubelet "Started" event message to detect container restarts. That
message text differs across kubelet versions: release-4.20/4.21 emit
"Started container %v" while 4.22/main emit "Container started".
The substring match only succeeds with the newer wording, so the test
timed out deterministically on 4.20/4.21 with "context deadline
exceeded" while appearing to pass most of the time on 4.22/main.
Replace the event-message matching with pod.Status.ContainerStatuses:
the container's RestartCount gates on the first restart cycle, and
Running.StartedAt (paired with the "Killing" event's FirstTimestamp)
gives the restart and kill-decision timestamps directly from the API
instead of parsing free-text event messages. This is stable across
kubelet versions and platforms.
Also removes CalculateEventTimeDiff from node_utils.go, which was
only used by the old event-matching logic and has no other callers.
Verified on a live 4.20 cluster: all three tests now pass with
accurate measurements (11s, 10s, and 60s against expected 10s, 10s,
and 60s grace periods).

WalkthroughThe probe termination test now polls container status and pod events. It correlates the first restart with a probe-triggered ChangesProbe termination validation
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change makes probe termination tests more stable across kubelet versions, but the current implementation still relies partly on event message text and may wait for the full timeout if a second restart is observed before the first is sampled. This is a bounded test-correctness risk, so the PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up. Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 15✅ Passed checks (15 passed)

273-281: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winMatch the container by
InvolvedObject.FieldPathinstead of a message substring.The PR goal is to stop depending on kubelet message text. This helper still depends on the words "failed" and "probe" in the message. It also matches the container name as a plain substring, so a container name that is a substring of another container name can match the wrong event. Kubelet sets
InvolvedObject.FieldPathtospec.containers{<name>}for container-scoped events, which gives an exact container match.♻️ Proposed change
func findProbeKillingEvent(events *corev1.EventList, containerName string) *corev1.Event { + fieldPath := fmt.Sprintf("spec.containers{%s}", containerName) for i := range events.Items { event := &events.Items[i] - if strings.Contains(event.Message, containerName) && strings.Contains(event.Message, "failed") && strings.Contains(event.Message, "probe") { + if event.InvolvedObject.FieldPath != fieldPath { + continue + } + if strings.Contains(event.Message, "probe") { return event } } return nil }Confirm that the kubelet in the supported releases sets

Summary
Fixes the
[sig-node] Probe configuration [OTP]terminationGracePeriodSecondstests, which have been failing deterministically onrelease-4.20/release-4.21(and flaking to a lesser extent elsewhere) since their restart-detection logic depended on matching a hardcoded substring against the kubeletStartedevent's free-text message.Root cause
The test waited for a
Startedevent containing the substring"Container started"to detect a container restart. That message text is not stable across kubelet versions:Startedevent messagerelease-4.20"Started container %v"(e.g."Started container test")release-4.21"Started container %v"release-4.22"Container started"(no container name)main(5.0)"Container started"Because
"Started container test"does not contain the substring"Container started", the match can never succeed on 4.20/4.21, so the test always timed out waiting for a restart signal that would never match, eventually failing withclient rate limiter Wait returned an error: context deadline exceeded. On4.22/main, the newer wording happens to satisfy the match, which is why those branches showed a much higher (but not 100%) pass rate.Fix
Replace the event-message matching with data read directly from the Kubernetes API instead of free-text log parsing:
pod.Status.ContainerStatuses[].State.Running.StartedAtfor the restart timestamp (authoritative, always current).Killingevent'sFirstTimestampfor the kill-decision timestamp (immutable on first occurrence).RestartCount == 1so both signals are guaranteed to correspond to the same restart cycle.This has no dependency on kubelet event wording, so it is stable across kubelet versions and platforms.
Also removes
CalculateEventTimeDifffromnode_utils.go, which was added solely for the old event-message-matching approach and has no other callers in the repository.Testing
