Summary

Fixes problem #2 of #1407: in IPv6-only clusters the gpu-health-monitor pod
CrashLoopBackoffs because kubelet liveness/readiness probes over IPv6 get
connection refused.

Root cause: gpu_health_monitor/cli.py calls start_http_server(port) without an
addr, so prometheus_client binds the metrics server to 0.0.0.0 (IPv4-only). The
daemonset probes hit the pod's IPv6 address, which nothing is listening on.

Changes:

  • Add a --metrics-addr CLI flag and pass it as addr to start_http_server. The
    flag defaults to 0.0.0.0, so non-Helm invocations are unchanged.
  • Add a global.metricsAddress Helm value (default ::) and wire --metrics-addr
    into the dcgm 3.x and 4.x daemonset templates. :: binds dual-stack (IPv6 plus
    IPv4-mapped on standard Linux with net.ipv6.bindv6only=0), so a freshly installed
    chart works in IPv6-only and IPv4-only clusters and kubelet probes succeed over
    IPv6.

@lalitadithya noted in the issue thread that the probes would still be a problem and
that it was something to work on; this addresses that specific piece.

Scope: this PR only covers the gpu-health-monitor metrics bind (problem #2), which is
the part that lives in this repo. The other two problems in the issue are upstream and
out of scope here: the DCGM client not connecting over IPv6 hostnames (#1, tracked in
NVIDIA/DCGM#301) and making the GPU-operator's DCGM exporter bind on [::] (#3, which
requires editing the GPU-operator Helm chart, not NVSentinel).

Testing

  • Tests pass locally

  • No breaking changes (or documented)

Added gpu_health_monitor/tests/test_cli.py: asserts --metrics-addr :: reaches
start_http_server(port, addr="::"), that the default is still 0.0.0.0, and that the
option is registered. Full suite passes (67 tests). helm template on the chart renders
--metrics-addr "::" in both the 3.x and 4.x daemonsets; helm lint passes.

Note: the end-to-end probe behavior requires an IPv6-only Kubernetes cluster with NVIDIA
GPUs and DCGM, which is not available here; the dual-stack fix is asserted from
prometheus_client's bind behavior and covered by the unit test.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The GPU health monitor now supports configurable IPv4 or IPv6 metrics binding and platform-connector token authentication. The CLI, address-aware HTTP server, Helm values, and both DCGM DaemonSet templates carry these settings.

Changes

GPU Health Monitor Configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Address-aware health server binding
health-monitors/gpu-health-monitor/gpu_health_monitor/healthz.py
start_server accepts an address and selects IPv4 or IPv6 socket behavior before binding.
CLI metrics and token configuration
health-monitors/gpu-health-monitor/gpu_health_monitor/cli.py, health-monitors/gpu-health-monitor/gpu_health_monitor/tests/test_cli.py
The CLI adds metrics-address and platform-connector token-path options. It forwards these values to the health server and event processors. Tests cover IPv4 defaults and explicit IPv6 binding.
Helm metrics and authentication wiring
distros/kubernetes/nvsentinel/values.yaml, distros/kubernetes/nvsentinel/charts/gpu-health-monitor/templates/daemonset-dcgm-3.x.yaml, distros/kubernetes/nvsentinel/charts/gpu-health-monitor/templates/daemonset-dcgm-4.x.yaml
Helm defines the metrics address and conditionally configures platform-connector token mounts, environment variables, and volumes for both DaemonSet variants.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to a3a1f

The change updates metrics binding for IPv6 clusters, but the health server can still mis-handle IPv6 addresses or reject IPv4-mapped connections, causing probes to fail and pods to remain unavailable. This correctness and availability issue should be fixed before merge.

I think having the default support both ipv4 and ipv6 is fine, this will ensure the system works out of the box irrespective of the network stack configuration for the most part.

:: is only dual-stack when the kernel has an IPv6 stack loaded. On nodes booted with ipv6.disable=1 (our baremetal fleet), socket(AF_INET6) fails with EAFNOSUPPORT, so it's not "out of the box irrespective of network stack". I verified by building this PR's image and deploying it on a baremetal dev cluster: with --metrics-addr "::" the pod hits OSError: [Errno 97] Address family not supported by protocol and goes into CrashLoopBackOff; the same image with 0.0.0.0 runs healthy on the same node.for csp, it works . only for baremetal, it is a problem.

I see, that is good context. Thanks for checking! I think we should leave the default as is (i.e., 0.0.0.0) and document how to enable dual stack / ipv6 support.

Rebased and addressed both points in 5a123ac.

@deesharma24 you were right about the default — metricsAddress is now empty, which preserves the existing IPv4 behaviour, and "::" is the opt-in for dual-stack in IPv6-only clusters. Verified by rendering the chart both ways: the default emits no --metrics-addr flag at all, and --set global.metricsAddress=:: emits it on both gpu-health-monitor DaemonSets.

The rebase needed more than a mechanical resolution. Upstream replaced prometheus_client.start_http_server with healthz.start_server, which serves /metrics and /healthz together but had no bind-address parameter — so a naive merge would have silently dropped this PR entirely. start_server now takes addr alongside upstream's staleness_seconds, resolves it with getaddrinfo to match what prometheus_client did, and for an IPv6 result sets AF_INET6 with IPV6_V6ONLY off so :: accepts IPv4-mapped connections instead of quietly becoming IPv6-only. Empty normalises to 0.0.0.0, since an empty passive lookup can prefer IPv6 on a dual-stack host and that would have changed the default behaviour.

helm lint, the healthz tests and black all pass. No IPv6-only cluster here, so the dual-stack bind is covered by the socket-level code and chart rendering rather than observed end to end.

@lalitadithya @deesharma24 pushed d4a98ff following the conclusion in the values.yaml thread.

The chart default is back to 0.0.0.0, so nothing changes for existing clusters. metricsAddress is documented as the IPv6 opt-in, with @deesharma24's finding recorded inline: :: only works where the kernel has an IPv6 stack, and a node booted with ipv6.disable=1 fails with EAFNOSUPPORT and CrashLoops.

The CLI already defaulted to 0.0.0.0, and the test asserting that is unchanged and passing. Also took the Ruff S108 nit and moved --state-file onto tmp_path.

thanks @mvanhorn ! can you please rebase and fix conflicts?

Add a --metrics-addr flag to gpu_health_monitor and pass it to
start_http_server so the Prometheus metrics endpoint can bind dual-stack.
The flag defaults to 0.0.0.0 (no change for existing invocations). Wire a
new global.metricsAddress Helm value (default "::") into the dcgm 3.x/4.x
daemonsets so a freshly installed chart binds dual-stack and kubelet

Rebased onto current main as a3a1f01, squashed to one commit.

Main had replaced the metrics server: start_http_server(port, addr=...) is gone and healthz.start_server(port, staleness_seconds=...) took its place, binding ("", port) with the default AF_INET. That cannot bind an IPv6 literal at all, so the original approach no longer applied.

start_server now takes addr (default 0.0.0.0) and selects AF_INET6 when the address contains a colon; cli.py threads --metrics-addr into it. The chart default stays 0.0.0.0 per the conclusion above, with the IPv6 caveat documented next to metricsAddress.

Checked on the rebased branch: binding 0.0.0.0 gives an AF_INET socket, :: gives AF_INET6, /healthz answers 200 on both, and the v6 socket still serves an IPv4-mapped client. The three CLI tests are green, and the addr assertions no longer pin the other kwargs so a future parameter will not break them.

Resolve the bind address and configure the IPv6 socket.

The ":" in addr heuristic can bind an IPv6-only hostname with AF_INET and select an unintended IPv4 address or fail. Resolve addr with socket.getaddrinfo and bind the selected address. Set IPV6_V6ONLY to 0 before binding so IPv4 clients work on systems where it defaults to 1.
