Lands the Helm chart for system-services-monitor (NVIDIA#891 split, 4 of 5). Subchart under distros/kubernetes/nvsentinel/charts/ + values.yaml + Chart.yaml dependency registration in the parent chart. The chart is aligned to the actual runtime contract of the app on the implementation branch (cli.py / metrics.py), not an assumed one: DaemonSet - The app's entrypoint is a Click CLI whose --platform-connector-socket option is required=True with no env fallback. The container now passes it (plus --port/--poll-interval/--boot-grace-period/--flap-window/ --flap-threshold/--enable-fabric-check/--processing-strategy) via args:, and mounts the platform-connector Unix socket (hostPath /var/run/nvsentinel at /var/run, mirroring the slurm/nic/csp siblings). The app prepends unix:// itself, so the flag value is a bare path. - Dropped the envFrom configMapRef and the unused /var/run/dbus mount -- the app reads host systemd state via nsenter into PID 1, not dbus. - Keeps NODE_NAME (fieldRef) and LOG_LEVEL, the only env the app reads. Metrics / alerts - metricsPort now binds global.metricsPort (2112), matching siblings and the --port flag the app actually honors. - PrometheusRule alerts only on metrics the monitor exports: fabric_manager_up, fabric_state_healthy, nvidia_service_up, and fabric_manager_restarts_total (added in NVIDIA#1382). The flapping alert fires on increase(fabric_manager_restarts_total[10m]) > 3. Removed the CUDAValidationFailed alert -- cuda validation is an exit-code-only init container (NVIDIA#1384), no cuda_validation_passed metric. - Alert names follow the ADR-049 check taxonomy: FabricManagerServiceDown, FabricStateUnhealthy, GpuServiceDown. Config - Deleted the ConfigMap: its keys were either dead or are real CLI flags, now templated into args: from values.yaml. LOG_LEVEL is a plain env var. - ServiceMonitor + PrometheusRule default enabled: false (no health-monitor sibling ships them enabled) and ServiceMonitor's release label is now driven by .Values.serviceMonitor.labels (empty default) instead of a hardcoded release: prometheus. Mirrors the sibling pattern (nic-health-monitor) for .Values.global references; the parent chart supplies globals, so validate by rendering the parent chart (helm template distros/kubernetes/nvsentinel --set global.systemServicesMonitor.enabled=true), not standalone lint.

Reasoned position rather than a code change, matching the sibling charts: a single DaemonSet is intentional here. The monitor's probes run through nsenter into the host PID-1 mount namespace, which is the same mechanism on Kata and regular nodes alike — there is no Kata-specific mount or host log path in this chart (the monitor reads systemd/nvidia-smi state, not host log files, so no required host log mount exists at line 102 to vary). The sibling nic-health-monitor chart ships one DaemonSet with the same selector pattern and no kata.enabled nodeAffinity split. If NVSentinel later grows a repo-wide Kata/non-Kata DaemonSet convention, this chart should follow it; splitting only this chart now would diverge from every existing health-monitor chart. Happy to implement the split if maintainers want it as the new pattern.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
@dmvevents, thanks for the detailed context. The nsenter behavior explains why this monitor does not currently require the host log mounts for its runtime operation.
However, the supplied repository guideline applies to distros/kubernetes/**/templates/**/*.yaml without an exception for monitors that do not read logs. It explicitly requires separate Kata and regular DaemonSet variants, kata.enabled-based nodeAffinity, and the distinct log mounts.
The sibling chart pattern supports a broader consistency discussion. It does not invalidate the applicable guideline for this chart. Please either implement the variants or obtain a maintainer-approved guideline exception or update before this finding can be withdrawn.

Understood — formally requesting the maintainer exception here rather than implementing the split in this PR. Precedent is mixed in-tree: syslog-health-monitor ships daemonset-regular.yaml/daemonset-kata.yaml because it reads host log files (the exact mounts the guideline lists), while the merged nic-health-monitor ships a single daemonset.yaml with no kata variant — same shape as this chart, and like this monitor it does not read host logs. If maintainers want the variant split here regardless, I'll implement it (and would suggest the same for nic-health-monitor for consistency); deferring to their call on the guideline's scope.

@dmvevents, I verified the cited precedent.
syslog-health-monitor renders Kata and regular DaemonSet definitions. It selects on nvsentinel.dgxc.nvidia.com/kata.enabled and mounts host journal or log paths.
nic-health-monitor has one DaemonSet. It has no Kata selection and no host log or journal mounts. This supports the proposed scope distinction for monitors that do not read host logs.
The current guideline does not state that exception. A maintainer must approve the exception or update the guideline. I will keep this finding open pending that decision.

Learning: In NVIDIA/NVSentinel Kubernetes charts, `syslog-health-monitor` uses Kata and regular DaemonSet variants with host log or journal mounts because it reads host logs. `nic-health-monitor` uses a single DaemonSet without Kata selection or host log/journal mounts. This provides in-tree precedent for scoping the Kata/regular DaemonSet split to monitors that read host logs.

Agreed on the process — leaving this finding open for a maintainer decision rather than declaring it withdrawn, since the guideline is theirs to scope, not mine.
Restating the choice compactly for whoever picks it up: the guideline's required Kata artifacts are the distinct log mounts (/run/log/journal, /var/log/journal vs /var/log). This chart mounts none of them and has no host-log path to vary — its probes run through nsenter into the host PID-1 mount namespace, identical on Kata and regular nodes. In-tree that maps cleanly onto which monitors read host logs: syslog-health-monitor/templates/ ships daemonset-kata.yaml + daemonset-regular.yaml, while the merged nic-health-monitor/templates/ ships a single daemonset.yaml with no kata.enabled selection — both confirmed on current main.
So the maintainer call is whether the guideline is scoped to log-reading monitors (this chart is already consistent, and nic-health-monitor sets the precedent) or applies to every DaemonSet (then both this chart and the already-merged nic-health-monitor need the split, and it should land as one consistent change rather than only here). Ready to implement whichever they pick.
@XRFXLP — this one needs your call to unblock; the other review items on this PR are addressed in 26ab67a.

@dmvevents, agreed. The finding remains open pending the maintainer decision on the guideline scope.
If the guideline applies only to log-reading monitors, this chart matches the nic-health-monitor precedent. If it applies to every DaemonSet, the split should be implemented consistently for both charts.

…ment chart values - FabricManagerFlapping now derives its window and threshold from the same .Values.flapWindow/.Values.flapThreshold the DaemonSet passes to the monitor, and compares with >= to match ServiceChecker.is_flapping (flags AT the threshold). A user override can no longer desynchronize the alert from the detector, and the off-by-one (alert needed a 4th restart while the monitor flagged at 3) is gone. Verified via helm template: increase(fabric_manager_restarts_total[600s]) >= 3. - Added inline documentation for image, podAnnotations, resources, affinity, and logLevel values.
