Unable to see provisioning errors on RKE2 clusters #7725

Open gaktive opened 1 year ago

Internal reference: SURE-5141 though it's purely internal Reported in 2.6.7 from @bashofmann

Issue description: If you make a configuration error in the machine pool config which makes the VM creation fail, it’s very hard to see the error message from the provider. The error message maybe pops up for a split second and then Rancher directly deletes the machine and retries the creation, which then fails again. The user could not find any other place where the error messages are logged more permanently. Ticket with video to show the behaviour: https://github.com/rancher/rancher/issues/38159

Repro steps:

Workaround: none

Actual behavior: Error messages are only shown for a split second.

Expected behavior: Error messages are shown permanently until they are fixed.

This will require backend first before the UI can do anything.

Backend not targeted until 2024 Q1 potentially. Pushing to 2.7.x as a generic placeholder.
