We are running jenkins outside a cluster and want to manage jenkins the cluster to handle pods from kubernetes. Everything is working fine, but our logfile is full of the following exceptions, where we think it's a bug that you do not check if running outside the cluster before - correct me if we are wrong.

Can we somehow work around this issue?
