CCE Node Problem Detector

Add-on Overview

CCE Node Problem Detector (node-problem-detector, NPD) is an add-on that monitors abnormal events of cluster nodes and connects to a third-party monitoring platform. It is a daemon running on each node. It collects node issues from different daemons and reports them to the API server. It can run as a DaemonSet or a daemon.

Add-on Parameters

**Table 1** Parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
basic	No	object	Basic configuration parameters, which do not need to be specified
flavor	Yes	Table 2 object	Flavor parameters
custom	Yes	Table 3 object	Custom parameters

**Table 2** Configuration of flavor
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
description	No	String	Add-on description
name	Yes	String	Add-on specification name. The value is fixed at Single-instance.
replicas	Yes	String	Number of pods. The default value is 1.
resources	Yes	resources object	Container resource (CPU and memory) quotas

**Table 3** Configuration of custom
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
feature_gate	No	String	Feature gate, which is used to enable the beta features
multiAZBalance	No	Bool	Multi AZ deployment
multiAZEnabled	No	Bool	Whether to deploy the add-on pods in multiple AZs. The default value is false. If this parameter is set to true, cross-AZ deployment is forcibly performed. If this parameter is set to false, cross-AZ deployment is preferred.
npc	Yes	object Table 5	node-problem-controller configuration
tolerations	No	List<Object> Table 7	Tolerations of the add-on
node_match_expressions	No	List<Object> Table 7	Node affinity configuration of the add-on

Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
limitsCpu	Yes	String	CPU size limit (unit: m)
limitsMem	Yes	String	Memory size limit (unit: Mi)
name	Yes	String	Add-on name. The value is fixed at custom-resources.
requestsCpu	Yes	String	Requested CPU size (unit: m)
requestsMem	Yes	String	Requested memory size (unit: Mi)

**Table 5** Data structure of the npc field
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
maxTaintedNode	Yes	String or Int	The maximum number of nodes that NPC can add taints to when a single fault occurs on multiple nodes for minimizing impact. The value can be in int or percentage format.

**Table 6** Taints and tolerations
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
key	No	String	Taint key
effect	No	String	Taint policy
operator	No	String	Operator
tolerationSeconds	No	Int	Toleration time window

**Table 7** nodeMatchExpresssion node affinity
