Troubleshooting

The argocd-notifications binary includes a set of CLI commands that helps to configure the controller settings and troubleshoot issues.

Global flags

Following global flags are available for all sub-commands:

  • config-map - path to the file containing argocd-notifications-cm ConfigMap. If not specified then the command loads argocd-notification-cm ConfigMap using the local Kubernetes config file.
  • secret - path to the file containing argocd-notifications-secret ConfigMap. If not specified then the command loads argocd-notification-secret Secret using the local Kubernetes config file. Additionally, you can specify :empty value to use empty secret with no notification service settings.

Examples:

  • Get list of triggers configured in the local config map:
argocd-notifications trigger get \
  --config-map ./argocd-notifications-cm.yaml --secret :empty
  • Trigger notification using in-cluster config map and secret:
argocd-notifications template notify \
  app-sync-succeeded guestbook --recipient slack:argocd-notifications

Kustomize

If you are managing argocd-notifications config using Kustomize you can pipe whole kustomize build output into stdin using --config-map - flag:

kustomize build ./argocd-notifications | \
  argocd-notifications \
  template notify app-sync-succeeded guestbook --recipient grafana:argocd \
  --config-map -
