1. Proposed title of this feature request
Enhance oc adm top nodes output with Native Node Role Column
2. What is the nature and description of the request?
The node type (master/infra/worker) is frequently needed in the output of "oc adm top nodes". There is no "native"/built-in (to oc or oc.exe) way to customize the columns to display the type of each node.
3. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)
The business justification is the same as the reason “oc adm top nodes” exists in the first place: it provides a compact, human-readable, side-by-side overview of node resource usage – essential for both routine monitoring and troubleshooting.
In mid-to-large clusters, especially on public cloud platforms, node names are often generic and don’t indicate their function (master/infra/worker). Without role information, it’s difficult to assess which types of nodes are under stress or misconfigured. This makes the top-level output significantly less useful.
Adding a built-in way to display node roles in “oc adm top nodes” would significantly improve the operator experience and efficiency – especially in high-pressure troubleshooting scenarios.
