Node feature discovery for Kubernetes

From node-feature-discovery-0.20 0.20.1-r1 (enterprise-packages), captured 2026-11-08 by running nfd-topology-updater --help (exit 0). permalink

Usage of nfd-topology-updater:
  -add_dir_header
    	If true, adds the file directory to the header of the log messages
  -alsologtostderr
    	log to standard error as well as files (no effect when -logtostderr=true)
  -alsologtostderrthreshold value
    	logs at or above this threshold go to stderr when -alsologtostderr=true (no effect when -logtostderr=true)
  -api-auth-token-file string
    	API auth token file path. It is used to request kubelet configz endpoint, only takes effect when kubelet-config-uri is https. Default to /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token. (default "/var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token")
  -config string
    	Config file to use. (default "/etc/kubernetes/node-feature-discovery/nfd-topology-updater.conf")
  -kubeconfig string
    	Kube config file.
  -kubelet-config-uri string
    	Kubelet config URI path. Default to kubelet configz endpoint.
  -kubelet-state-dir string
    	Kubelet state directory path for watching state and checkpoint files (default "/host-var/lib/kubelet")
  -legacy_stderr_threshold_behavior
    	If true, stderrthreshold is ignored when logtostderr=true (legacy behavior). If false, stderrthreshold is honored even when logtostderr=true (default true)
  -log_backtrace_at value
    	when logging hits line file:N, emit a stack trace
  -log_dir string
    	If non-empty, write log files in this directory (no effect when -logtostderr=true)
  -log_file string
    	If non-empty, use this log file (no effect when -logtostderr=true)
  -log_file_max_size uint
    	Defines the maximum size a log file can grow to (no effect when -logtostderr=true). Unit is megabytes. If the value is 0, the maximum file size is unlimited. (default 1800)
  -logtostderr
    	log to standard error instead of files (default true)
  -no-publish
    	Do not create or update NodeResourceTopology objects.
  -one_output
    	If true, only write logs to their native severity level (vs also writing to each lower severity level; no effect when -logtostderr=true)
  -oneshot
    	Update once and exit
  -podresources-socket string
    	Pod Resource Socket path to use. (default "/host-var/lib/kubelet/pod-resources/kubelet.sock")
  -pods-fingerprint
    	Compute and report the pod set fingerprint (default true)
  -port int
    	Port which metrics and healthz endpoints are served on (default 8080)
  -skip_headers
    	If true, avoid header prefixes in the log messages
  -skip_log_headers
    	If true, avoid headers when opening log files (no effect when -logtostderr=true)
  -sleep-interval duration
    	Time to sleep between CR updates. zero means no CR updates on interval basis. [Default: 60s] (default 1m0s)
  -stderrthreshold value
    	logs at or above this threshold go to stderr when writing to files and stderr (no effect when -logtostderr=true or -alsologtostderr=true unless -legacy_stderr_threshold_behavior=false) (default 2)
  -v value
    	number for the log level verbosity
  -version
    	Print version and exit.
  -vmodule value
    	comma-separated list of pattern=N settings for file-filtered logging
  -watch-namespace string
    	Namespace to watch pods (for testing/debugging purpose). Use * for all namespaces. (default "*")
