Metadata Collector Configuration

View as Markdown

Overview

The Metadata Collector module collects GPU metadata using NVIDIA NVML (Management Library) and writes it to a shared file. Other modules read this file to enrich health events with GPU serial numbers, UUIDs, and topology information. This component will also expose the pod-to-GPU mapping as an annotation on each pod requesting GPUs. This document covers all Helm configuration options for system administrators.

Configuration Reference

Module Enable/Disable

Controls whether the metadata-collector module is deployed in the cluster.

1global:
2  metadataCollector:
3    enabled: true

Resources

Defines CPU and memory resource requests and limits for the metadata-collector init container.

1metadata-collector:
2  resources:
3    limits:
4      cpu: 500m
5      memory: 256Mi
6    requests:
7      cpu: 100m
8      memory: 128Mi

Runtime Class

Specifies the container runtime class for GPU device access.

1metadata-collector:
2  runtimeClassName: "nvidia"

Parameters

runtimeClassName

Runtime class name that provides GPU device access. Required for NVML to query GPU information.

Common values:

  • nvidia - NVIDIA container runtime (default)
  • nvidia-legacy - Legacy NVIDIA runtime
  • Empty string - Uses default cluster runtime. Used for CRIO environments
