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.
One common issue users encounter is that webhooks are not triggering as expected. This can manifest as applications not updating in Argo CD when changes are pushed to the Git repository.
Despite making changes to your Git repository, Argo CD does not reflect these changes in the application state. This indicates that the webhook responsible for notifying Argo CD of changes is not functioning correctly.
The primary reason for webhooks not triggering is often related to incorrect configuration or network connectivity issues. Webhooks are crucial for notifying Argo CD of changes in the Git repository, enabling it to synchronize the application state accordingly.
To resolve the issue of webhooks not triggering, follow these steps:
Ensure that the webhook is correctly configured in your Git repository settings. Check the following:
https://your-argocd-server/api/webhook
.Ensure that there are no network issues preventing the webhook from reaching the Argo CD server:
curl
or ping
.Check the Argo CD server logs for any errors related to webhook processing. Use the following command to view logs:
kubectl logs -n argocd deploy/argocd-server
