Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. It automates the deployment of the desired application states in the specified target environments. By monitoring Git repositories, Argo CD ensures that the live state of applications matches the desired state defined in Git.
When using Argo CD, you might encounter an 'Application sync error'. This error typically manifests as a failure to synchronize the application state with the desired configuration in the Git repository. Users may see error messages indicating resource conflicts or missing resources.
The 'Application sync error' often arises from resource conflicts or missing resources. Resource conflicts occur when multiple resources attempt to modify the same configuration, leading to inconsistencies. Missing resources can happen if the specified resources in the Git repository are not available in the target environment.
Conflicts can occur due to:
Missing resources can be due to:
To resolve the 'Application sync error', follow these steps:
Begin by examining the application logs for specific error messages. Use the following command to view logs:
kubectl logs -n argocd -l app.kubernetes.io/name=argocd-server
Look for messages indicating the nature of the conflict or missing resources.
Refer to the Argo CD Sync Options for more details on managing sync strategies.
