The ack-node-problem-detector component is optimized and enhanced by Alibaba Cloud Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) based on the open source Node Problem Detector (NPD) provided by the Kubernetes community. This component is used to monitor cluster nodes and integrate third-party node monitoring plug-ins. You can use ack-node-problem-detector to integrate custom monitoring plug-ins. This allows you to enhance the monitoring of nodes and detect more node anomalies.
