Environment variables

Configuration knobs read by the Kubesonde controller.

KUBESONDE_PROBE_WORKERS

Number of probes executed concurrently by the dispatcher's bounded worker pool.

Type	Positive integer
Default	10
Invalid/unset	Falls back to 10

The default is kept modest to stay well within the kubelet's exec/attach concurrency limits. Raise it to probe large namespaces faster, at the cost of more load on the cluster.

Set it on the controller deployment:

env:
  - name: KUBESONDE_PROBE_WORKERS
    value: "20"

Or patch a running controller:

kubectl -n kubesonde-system set env \
  deployment/kubesonde-controller-manager KUBESONDE_PROBE_WORKERS=20

Or when running from source:

KUBESONDE_PROBE_WORKERS=20 make run

See How to tune probe concurrency for guidance on choosing a value.
