Argo CD custom resource and component properties

The ArgoCD custom resource is a Kubernetes Custom Resource (CRD) that describes the desired state for a given Argo CD cluster that allows you to configure the components which make up an Argo CD cluster.

Argo CD custom resource properties

The Argo CD Custom Resource consists of the following properties:

Name Description Default Properties

Enabling notifications with an Argo CD instance

Argo CD notifications allow you to send notifications to external services when events occur in your Argo CD instance. For example, you can send notifications to Slack or email when a sync operation fails. By default, notifications are disabled in Argo CD instances.

Prerequisites

  • You have access to an OpenShift Container Platform cluster with cluster-admin privileges and are logged into the web console.

  • You have installed the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Operator on your cluster.

Procedure

To enable notifications for an Argo CD instance using the OpenShift Container Platform web console, complete the following steps:

  1. Navigate to the Operators → Installed Operators page.

  2. From the list of Installed Operators, select the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Operator, and then click on the ArgoCD tab.

  3. Select the Argo CD instance name you want to enable notifications. For example, openshift-gitops.

  4. Click on the YAML tab, and then edit and set the spec.notifications.enabled parameter to true:

    Example
    apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1beta1
kind: ArgoCD
metadata:
  name: openshift-gitops
spec:
  notifications:
    enabled: true
#....

  5. Click Save.

Alternatively, you can enable notifications by using the oc patch command in the Openshift CLI. For example:

oc patch argocd openshift-gitops -n openshift-gitops --type merge --patch '{"spec": {"notifications": {"enabled": true}}}'

NotificationsConfiguration custom resource properties

The NotificationsConfiguration resource is a Kubernetes custom resource (CR) that manages notifications in a Kubernetes cluster. In Red Hat OpenShift GitOps, you can add templates, triggers, services, and subscription resources to an Argo CD Notifications config map by using the NotificationsConfiguration CR.

When you create a cluster in Red Hat OpenShift GitOps with notifications enabled, a NotificationsConfiguration CR is created by default with the name default-notifications-configuration.

Any change made in the existing configuration of the NotificationsConfiguration CR is replicated in the Argo CD Notifications config map. For example, if the user adds trigger configuration in the NotificationsConfiguration resource, this configuration is read, processed, and updated in the Argo CD Notifications config map.

Any configuration changes must be updated in the default-notifications-configuration CR. Custom resources created by the users for NotificationsConfiguration resource are not supported.

Any modification to the Argo CD argocd-notifications-cm config map is overridden by the changes made in the NotificationsConfiguration CR.
Table 1. NotificationsConfiguration custom resource properties
Properties Default Description

Templates

<empty>

Templates are used to generate the notification template message.

Triggers

Subscriptions contain centrally-managed global application subscriptions.

The following examples define how to add templates, triggers, services, and subscription resources to the Argo CD argocd-notification-cm config map by using the default-notifications-configuration custom resource.

You can configure the NotificationsConfiguration CR by using the OpenShift Container Platform web console or the CLI (oc).

Configuring the NotificationsConfiguration CR by using the web console

You can configure the NotificationsConfiguration custom resource (CR) by using the web console.

Prerequisites

  • You have access to an OpenShift Container Platform cluster with cluster-admin privileges and are logged into the web console.

  • You have installed the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Operator on your cluster.

  • You have enabled notifications for the Argo CD instance. For more information, see "Enabling notifications with an Argo CD instance".

Procedure

  1. In the Administrator perspective of the OpenShift Container Platform web console, expand Operators → Installed Operators.

  2. From the list of Installed Operators, select the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Operator, and then click on the NotificationsConfiguration tab.

  3. On the NotificationsConfigurations page, click default-notifications-configuration.

  4. On the default-notifications-configuration page, click YAML and add the configuration for any supported resources such as templates, triggers, services, and subscriptions. For example, under templates in the code, add the following sample configuration:

    Example template configuration
      template.my-custom-template: |
    message: |
    Application details: {{.context.argocdUrl}}/applications/{{.app.metadata.name}}.

  5. Click Save.

  6. Verify that the configuration changes made in the NotificationsConfiguration CR are reflected in the argocd-notifications-cm config map:

    1. Go to Workloads → ConfigMaps.

    2. Click argocd-notifications-cm and select the YAML tab.

    3. Scroll through the page in the YAML tab to verify the sample configuration added for the supported resources.

Configuring the NotificationsConfiguration CR by using the CLI

You can configure the NotificationsConfiguration custom resource (CR) by using the CLI (oc).

Prerequisites

  • You have access to an OpenShift Container Platform cluster with cluster-admin privileges.

  • You have installed the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Operator on your cluster.

  • You have enabled notifications for the Argo CD instance. For more information, see "Enabling notifications with an Argo CD instance".

Procedure

  1. Edit the default NotificationsConfiguration CR in the cluster by running the following command:

    $ oc edit notificationsconfiguration default-notifications-configuration -n <namespace>

    where:

    default-notifications-configuration

    Specifies the name of the default NotificationsConfiguration CR.

    <namespace>

    Specifies the name of the namespace.

  2. Under the templates section of the CR, add a configuration similar to the following example:

    Example template configuration
      template.my-custom-template: |
    message: |
    Application details: {{.context.argocdUrl}}/applications/{{.app.metadata.name}}.

  3. Verify the contents of the argocd-notifications-cm config map by running the following command:

    $ oc edit cm argocd-notifications-cm -n <namespace>

    The changes made in the existing configuration of the NotificationsConfiguration CR are reflected in the argocd-notifications-cm config map.
