⭐Argo CD

This plugin is part of Pro and Enterprise plan only

Introduction

This document provides step-by-step instructions for integrating your IDP software with ArgoCD. The integration can be achieved through two methods:

1. Synchronous Method: Fetching data using a service account token.

2. Asynchronous Method: Receiving data via webhooks.

Ideally for best performance and up to the date information you should have both methods enabled.

Before proceeding, ensure you have the following information:

• Plugin Name: A unique identifier for your application.

• BaseURL: The public URL of your ArgoCD server.

• Account Token: A token with read permissions for ArgoCD.

• Webhook Token: A token for receiving live changes via webhooks.

Method 1: Synchronous Data Fetching

Creating a Service Account in ArgoCD

To fetch data synchronously, you need to create a service account in ArgoCD with read permissions.

Steps:

1. Create a Service Account:

   • Refer to Creating an Argo CD Service Account for detailed steps.
   • Additionally, consult the official ArgoCD documentation on Service Account Token Generation.
2. Set the Token in IDP Software:

   • After creating the service account and generating the token, enter this token in plugin configuration as the 'Account Token'.

Method 2: Asynchronous Data Fetching via Webhooks

Setting Up Notifications Service in ArgoCD

For asynchronous data fetching, configure the notifications service in ArgoCD.

Requirements:

• ArgoCD version 2.10 or later: Use the built-in notifications controller.

• Earlier versions of ArgoCD: Install the argocd-notifications helm chart.

Installation:

• For ArgoCD 2.10 or later, refer to the Notifications Controller Documentation.
• For earlier versions, use the Helm chart available at ArgoCD Notifications Documentation, with the chart details:

  chart      = "argocd-notifications"
  repository = "https://argoproj.github.io/argo-helm"
  version    = "1.8.1"

• Configure values.yaml
