The Kube-proxy version field has been dropped from the Kubernetes node inventory.

As indicated by Kubernetes upstream:

It's being deprecated because the value of this field wasn't (and isn't) accurate. This field is set by the kubelet, which does not have reliable information about the kube-proxy version or whether kube-proxy is running.

Newer versions of Kubernetes do not return the field at all.

If you built views or dashboards that reference this field, please remove those references.
