Known Issues

On Kubernetes 1.21 - 1.24 warning is printed:

   2022/12/15 17:43:16 Error: get resource podsecuritypolicies in namespace default: error: <nil>, stderr: Warning: policy/v1beta1 PodSecurityPolicy is deprecated in v1.21+, unavailable in v1.25+
, stdout: apiVersion: v1
   items: []
   kind: List
   metadata:
     resourceVersion: ""

This warning is harmless and does not affect data collection. We will remove podsecuritypolicies once everyone upgrade to Kubernetes 1.25 or newer. Before that we advise to ignore this warning.
