+  shortDescription: Record and analyze performance metrics on nodes
+  description: |
+    APerf is a CLI tool for performance monitoring and debugging. It records
+    a wide range of performance-related system metrics over a sampling period,
+    such as CPU utilization, memory availability, and PMU counters, and writes
+    them into an archive on disk. APerf processes collected archives, performs
+    analysis, and generates an interactive HTML report with analytical findings
+    and data visualizations.
+  caveats: |
+    Usage:
+      kubectl aperf --node=NODE_NAME [options]
+
+    The plugin deploys a privileged pod on the target node to collect
+    performance data. Requires permissions to create pods in the target
+    namespace.
