<p>Does the # in front of success and failure in a Kubectl describe (refer picture) meant to represent something?</p>
<p>All of the elements in each of those probes represent a config element for the probe but success and failure are prefixed with a #. I initially thought maybe it is a default value (which was not specified by the user but noticed that this is not the case as the picture shows different values for all the failure config for the various probes.</p>
<p>Am I reading too much into the # or is it intentionally placed there for a reason?</p>
<p>It does not make a difference to the functionality or affect us in any form or shape. Just Curious as it catches the eye!</p>
