Hi!  
Many times Lens doesn’t show pod and node events from kubectl\_describe, and I have to do it manually.  
Do you know this issue?

I’ve just checked how Lens shows events and does not see any problems, event list same as provided by kubectl describe. Can you provide screenshots of the issue and explain a bit part about finding events manually - does it mean you take events from kubectl or any other way through Lens itself?

Are these events visible in the “Events” page?

The event at the bottom of that screenshot might be related to karpenter, not the node, which would make it not be visible in the Node details panel.

What is the “Involved Object” for these events? If you click the object is the event visible in the Events section of that opened details panel?

Hmm, I tried to create some Node events and I could see them in the details panel. I wonder if this is something specific to karpenter.

Seems like there is an issue there…  
Sometimes events don’t order by time, it miss some events.  
I use Lens for a long time - and I don’t trust this specifc feature
