Dapr arguments and annotations for daprd, CLI, and Kubernetes
The arguments and annotations available when configuring Dapr in different environments
This table is meant to help users understand the equivalent options for running Dapr sidecars in different contexts–via the CLI directly, via daprd, or on Kubernetes via annotations.

not supported | —image | dapr.io/sidecar-image | Dapr sidecar image. Default is daprio/daprd:latest . Use this when building your own custom image of Dapr and the Dapr sidecar will use this image instead of the default image of Dapr | |

—log-level | —log-level | dapr.io/log-level | Sets the log level for the Dapr sidecar. Allowed values are debug , info , warn , error . Default is info | |
—enable-api-logging | —enable-api-logging | dapr.io/enable-api-logging | Enables API logging for the Dapr sidecar | |
—app-max-concurrency | —app-max-concurrency | dapr.io/app-max-concurrency | Limit the concurrency of your application. A valid value is any number larger than 0 | |

—sentry-address | —sentry-address | not supported | Address for the Sentry CA service | |
—version | —version | -v | not supported | Prints the runtime version |
—dapr-graceful-shutdown-seconds | not supported | dapr.io/graceful-shutdown-seconds | Graceful shutdown duration in seconds for Dapr, the maximum duration before forced shutdown when waiting for all in-progress requests to complete.

not supported | not supported | dapr.io/enabled | Setting this paramater to true injects the Dapr sidecar into the pod | |

—dapr-listen-addresses | not supported | dapr.io/sidecar-listen-addresses | Comma separated list of IP addresses that sidecar will listen to. Defaults to all in standalone mode. Defaults to [::1],127.0.0.1 in Kubernetes. To listen to all IPv4 addresses, use 0.0.0.0 . To listen to all IPv6 addresses, use [::] . | |
not supported | not supported | dapr.io/sidecar-cpu-limit | Maximum amount of CPU that the Dapr sidecar can use. See valid values here. By default this is not set | |
not supported | not supported | dapr.io/sidecar-memory-limit | Maximum amount of Memory that the Dapr sidecar can use. See valid values here. By default this is not set | |
