Troubleshooting

argocd admin notifications is a CLI command group that helps to configure the controller settings and troubleshoot issues. Full command details are available in the command reference.

Global flags

The 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 to use empty secret with no notification service settings.

Examples:

• Get a list of triggers configured in the local config map:

  bashCopy

  argocd admin notifications trigger get \
    --config-map ./argocd-notifications-cm.yaml --secret :empty
  

• Trigger notification using in-cluster config map and secret:

  bashCopy

  argocd admin notifications template notify \
    app-sync-succeeded guestbook --recipient slack:argocd admin 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 -
