The ruleset "Kubernetes" that is used to set up the Kubernetes special agent can be found in Setup > Agents > VM, Cloud, Container. This ruleset now has additional options for configuring the API server endpoint. It is possible to configure a custom URL to connect to. Alternatively, the DNS hostname or IP address can be used automatically for each host, in combination with optional parameters for port (default is 443) and path prefix. Please read the help text of these options for more information.
