+## Notebook Culling
+
+The notebook controller will scale to zero all the notebooks with last activity
+older than the idle time. The controller will set the
+`notebooks.kubeflow.org/last-activity` annotation when it detects a kernel with
+activity.
+
+To enable this feature, create a configmap with the culling configuration:
+
+- **ENABLE_CULLING**: Enable culling feature (false by default).
+- **IDLENESS_CHECK_PERIOD**: Polling frequency to update notebook last activity.
+- **CULL_IDLE_TIME**: Maximum time to scale notebook to zero if no activity.
+
+When the controller scales down the notebook pods, it will add the
+`kubeflow-resource-stopped` annotation. Remove this annotation to start the
+notebook server again.
+
+For example, poll notebooks activity every 5 minutes and shutdown those that
+have been in an idle state for more than 60 minutes:
+
+```yaml
+cat <<EOF | oc apply -f -
+---
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: ConfigMap
+metadata:
+  name: notebook-controller-culler-config
+data:
+  ENABLE_CULLING: "true"
+  CULL_IDLE_TIME: "60" # In minutes (1 hour)
+  IDLENESS_CHECK_PERIOD: "5" # In minutes
+EOF
+```
+
+Restart the notebook controller deployment to refresh the configuration:
+
+```shell
+oc rollout restart deploy/notebook-controller-deployment
+```
+
+### Culling endpoint
+
+The notebook controller [polls the
+activity](https://github.com/kubeflow/kubeflow/blob/100657e8d1072136adf0a39315498b3d510c7c49/components/notebook-controller/pkg/culler/culler.go#L153-L155)
+from a specific path:
+
+```go
+url := fmt.Sprintf(
+    "http://%s.%s.svc.%s/notebook/%s/%s/api/kernels",
+    nm, ns, domain, ns, nm)
+```
+
+Make sure the notebook is exposing the kernels at this path by configuring the
+`base_url` parameter:
+
+```shell
+jupyter lab ... \
+  --ServerApp.base_url=/notebook/${nb_namespace}/${nb_name}
+```
