To quickly view available command line flags execute nfd-worker -help. In a docker container:
docker run registry.k8s.io/nfd/node-feature-discovery:v0.12.5 nfd-worker -help
-h, -help
Print usage and exit.
-version
Print version and exit.
-config
The -config flag specifies the path of the nfd-worker configuration file to use.
Default: /etc/kubernetes/node-feature-discovery/nfd-worker.conf
Example:
nfd-worker -config=/opt/nfd/worker.conf
-options
The -options flag may be used to specify and override configuration file options directly from the command line. The required format is the same as in the config file i.e. JSON or YAML. Configuration options specified via this flag will override those from the configuration file:
Default: empty
Example:
nfd-worker -options='{"sources":{"cpu":{"cpuid":{"attributeWhitelist":["AVX","AVX2"]}}}}'
-server
The -server flag specifies the address of the nfd-master endpoint where to connect to.
Default: localhost:8080
Example:
nfd-worker -server=nfd-master.nfd.svc.cluster.local:443
-ca-file
The -ca-file is one of the three flags (together with -cert-file and -key-file) controlling the mutual TLS authentication on the worker side. This flag specifies the TLS root certificate that is used for verifying the authenticity of nfd-master.
Default: empty
Note: Must be specified together with -cert-file and -key-file
Example:
nfd-worker -ca-file=/opt/nfd/ca.crt -cert-file=/opt/nfd/worker.crt -key-file=/opt/nfd/worker.key
-cert-file
The -cert-file is one of the three flags (together with -ca-file and -key-file) controlling mutual TLS authentication on the worker side. This flag specifies the TLS certificate presented for authenticating outgoing requests.
Default: empty
Note: Must be specified together with -ca-file and -key-file
Example:
nfd-workerr -cert-file=/opt/nfd/worker.crt -key-file=/opt/nfd/worker.key -ca-file=/opt/nfd/ca.crt
-key-file
The -key-file is one of the three flags (together with -ca-file and -cert-file) controlling the mutual TLS authentication on the worker side. This flag specifies the private key corresponding the given certificate file (-cert-file) that is used for authenticating outgoing requests.
Default: empty
Note: Must be specified together with -cert-file and -ca-file
Example:
nfd-worker -key-file=/opt/nfd/worker.key -cert-file=/opt/nfd/worker.crt -ca-file=/opt/nfd/ca.crt
-kubeconfig
The -kubeconfig flag specifies the kubeconfig to use for connecting to the Kubernetes API server. It is only needed for manipulating NodeFeature objects, and thus the flag only takes effect when -enable-nodefeature-api) is specified. An empty value (which is also the default) implies in-cluster kubeconfig.
Default: empty
Example:
nfd-worker -kubeconfig ${HOME}/.kube/config
-server-name-override
The -server-name-override flag specifies the common name (CN) which to expect from the nfd-master TLS certificate. This flag is mostly intended for development and debugging purposes.
Default: empty
Example:
nfd-worker -server-name-override=localhost
-feature-sources
The -feature-sources flag specifies a comma-separated list of enabled feature sources. A special value all enables all sources. Prefixing a source name with - indicates that the source will be disabled instead - this is only meaningful when used in conjunction with all. This command line flag allows completely disabling the feature detection so that neither standard feature labels are generated nor the raw feature data is available for custom rule processing. Consider using the core.featureSources config file option, instead, allowing dynamic configurability.
Note: This flag takes precedence over the core.featureSources configuration file option.
Default: all
Example:
nfd-worker -feature-sources=all,-pci
-label-sources
The -label-sources flag specifies a comma-separated list of enabled label sources. A special value all enables all sources. Prefixing a source name with - indicates that the source will be disabled instead - this is only meaningful when used in conjunction with all. Consider using the core.labelSources config file option, instead, allowing dynamic configurability.
Note: This flag takes precedence over the core.labelSources configuration file option.
Default: all
Example:
nfd-worker -label-sources=kernel,system,local
-enable-nodefeature-api
The -enable-nodefeature-api flag enables the experimental NodeFeature CRD API for communicating with nfd-master. This will also automatically disable the gRPC communication to nfd-master. When enabled, nfd-worker will create per-node NodeFeature objects the contain all discovered node features and the set of feature labels to be created.
Default: false
Example:
nfd-worker -enable-nodefeature-api
-no-publish
The -no-publish flag disables all communication with the nfd-master and the Kubernetes API server. It is effectively a "dry-run" flag for nfd-worker. NFD-Worker runs feature detection normally, but no labeling requests are sent to nfd-master and no NodeFeature objects are created or updated in the API server.
Note: This flag takes precedence over the core.noPublish configuration file option.
Default: false
Example:
nfd-worker -no-publish
-oneshot
The -oneshot flag causes nfd-worker to exit after one pass of feature detection.
Default: false
Example:
nfd-worker -oneshot -no-publish
Logging
The following logging-related flags are inherited from the klog package.
Note: The logger setup can also be specified via the core.klog configuration file options. However, the command line flags take precedence over any corresponding config file options specified.
-add_dir_header
If true, adds the file directory to the header of the log messages.
Default: false
-alsologtostderr
Log to standard error as well as files.
Default: false
-log_backtrace_at
When logging hits line file:N, emit a stack trace.
Default: empty
-log_dir
If non-empty, write log files in this directory.
Default: empty
-log_file
If non-empty, use this log file.
Default: empty
-log_file_max_size
Defines the maximum size a log file can grow to. 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
-skip_headers
If true, avoid header prefixes in the log messages.
Default: false
-skip_log_headers
If true, avoid headers when opening log files.
Default: false
-stderrthreshold
Logs at or above this threshold go to stderr.
Default: 2
-v
Number for the log level verbosity.
Default: 0
-vmodule
Comma-separated list of pattern=N settings for file-filtered logging.
Default: empty
