  -http-endpoint :8080
    	The TCP network address where the HTTP server for diagnostics, including metrics and leader election health check, will listen (example: :8080). The default is empty string, which means the server is disabled. Only one of `--metrics-address` and `--http-endpoint` can be set.
  -kube-api-burst int
    	Burst to use while communicating with the kubernetes apiserver. Defaults to 10. (default 10)
  -kube-api-qps float
    	QPS to use while communicating with the kubernetes apiserver. Defaults to 5.0. (default 5)
  -kubeconfig string
    	Absolute path to the kubeconfig file. Required only when running out of cluster.
  -leader-election
    	Enable leader election.
  -leader-election-labels value
    	List of labels to add to lease when given replica becomes leader. Formatted as a comma seperated list of key:value labels. Example: 'my-label:my-value,my-second-label:my-second-value'
  -leader-election-lease-duration duration
    	Duration, in seconds, that non-leader candidates will wait to force acquire leadership. Defaults to 15 seconds. (default 15s)
  -leader-election-namespace string
    	Namespace where the leader election resource lives. Defaults to the pod namespace if not set.
  -leader-election-renew-deadline duration
    	Duration, in seconds, that the acting leader will retry refreshing leadership before giving up. Defaults to 10 seconds. (default 10s)
  -leader-election-retry-period duration
    	Duration, in seconds, the LeaderElector clients should wait between tries of actions. Defaults to 5 seconds. (default 5s)
  -log-flush-frequency duration
    	Maximum number of seconds between log flushes (default 5s)
  -log-json-info-buffer-size value
    	[Alpha] In JSON format with split output streams, the info messages can be buffered for a while to increase performance. The default value of zero bytes disables buffering. The size can be specified as number of bytes (512), multiples of 1000 (1K), multiples of 1024 (2Ki), or powers of those (3M, 4G, 5Mi, 6Gi). Enable the LoggingAlphaOptions feature gate to use this.
  -log-json-split-stream
    	[Alpha] In JSON format, write error messages to stderr and info messages to stdout. The default is to write a single stream to stdout. Enable the LoggingAlphaOptions feature gate to use this.
  -log-text-info-buffer-size value
    	[Alpha] In text format with split output streams, the info messages can be buffered for a while to increase performance. The default value of zero bytes disables buffering. The size can be specified as number of bytes (512), multiples of 1000 (1K), multiples of 1024 (2Ki), or powers of those (3M, 4G, 5Mi, 6Gi). Enable the LoggingAlphaOptions feature gate to use this.
  -log-text-split-stream
    	[Alpha] In text format, write error messages to stderr and info messages to stdout. The default is to write a single stream to stdout. Enable the LoggingAlphaOptions feature gate to use this.
  -logging-format string
    	Sets the log format. Permitted formats: "json" (gated by LoggingBetaOptions), "text". (default "text")
  -max-entries int
    	Max entries per each page in volume lister call, 0 means no limit.
  -max-grpc-log-length int
    	The maximum amount of characters logged for every grpc responses. Defaults to no limit (default -1)
  -metrics-address :8080
    	(deprecated) The TCP network address where the prometheus metrics endpoint will listen (example: :8080). The default is empty string, which means metrics endpoint is disabled. Only one of `--metrics-address` and `--http-endpoint` can be set.
  -metrics-path /metrics
    	The HTTP path where prometheus metrics will be exposed. Default is /metrics. (default "/metrics")
  -reconcile-sync duration
    	Resync interval of the VolumeAttachment reconciler. (default 1m0s)
  -resync duration
    	Resync interval of the controller. (default 10m0s)
  -retry-interval-max duration
    	Maximum retry interval of failed provisioning or deletion. (default 5m0s)
  -retry-interval-start duration
    	Initial retry interval of failed provisioning or deletion. It doubles with each failure, up to retry-interval-max. (default 1s)
  -timeout duration
    	Timeout for waiting for attaching or detaching the volume. (default 15s)
  -v value
    	number for the log level verbosity
  -version
    	Show version.
  -vmodule value
    	comma-separated list of pattern=N settings for file-filtered logging (only works for text log format)
  -worker-threads uint
    	Number of attacher worker threads (default 10)
