Troubleshooting Daemonsets in Kubernetes

You are a container engineer at Cube4Lyf, an e-gaming platform geared toward puzzle and logic games. Their Kubernetes cluster is not performing as expected. In order to improve visibility in their cluster, the team has asked you to install Prometheus on each node as a daemonset. However, not all Pods are deploying as expected. You've been asked to troubleshoot the issue and ensure the monitoring Pods are deployed on each node.
