Description
Add
--kubelet-sync-periodflag to allow customization of how often the kubelet endpoints controller syncs with the Kubernetes API. Default remains 3 minutes to maintain backward compatibility.The hardcoded 3-minute sync period can cause timing issues in environments with
regular node scaling - when nodes are scaled down every 3 minutes, the sync timing can align in a way that causes Prometheus targets to remain persistently unhealthy, triggering false alarms.
