### Deprecated/changed metrics

- kubelet probe metrics are now of the counter type rather than the gauge type, and the `prober_probe_result` has been replaced by `prober_probe_total`. ([#76074](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/76074), [@danielqsj](https://github.com/danielqsj))

* **[beta]** Node Problem Detector is beta (v0.3.0) now. New
  features added into node-problem-detector:v0.3.0:
  - Add support for journald.
  - The ability to monitor any system daemon logs. Previously only kernel
    logs were supported.

## Changelog since v1.4.4

### Other notable changes

* Fix volume states out of sync problem after kubelet restarts ([#33616](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/33616), [@jingxu97](https://github.com/jingxu97))

#### Docker runtime Known Issues

- Kernel crash with Aufs storage driver on Debian Jessie ([#27885](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/27885))
  - Consider running the *new* [kubernetes node problem detector](https://github.com/kubernetes/node-problem-detector) to identify this (and other) kernel issues automatically.

- File descriptors are leaked in docker v1.11 ([#275](https://github.com/docker/containerd/issues/275))

  * Upgrade Node Problem Detector to v0.4.1. New features added:

    * Add /dev/kmsg support for kernel log parsing. ([#112](https://github.com/kubernetes/node-problem-detector/pull/112), [@euank](https://github.com/euank))

    * Add ABRT support. ([#105](https://github.com/kubernetes/node-problem-detector/pull/105), [@juliusmilan](https://github.com/juliusmilan))

- Kubelet now cleans up the Node's cloud node IP annotation correctly if you
  stop using `--node-ip`. (In particular, this fixes the problem where people who
  were unnecessarily using `--node-ip` with an external cloud provider in 1.23,
  and then running into problems with 1.24, could not fix the problem by just
  removing the unnecessary `--node-ip` from the kubelet arguments, because

- Revised the logic for `DaemonSet` rolling update to exclude nodes if scheduling constraints are not met. This eliminates the problem of rolling updates to a `DaemonSet` getting stuck around tolerations.
