SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps diagnose and resolve issues preventing Flux CD from successfully reconciling Kubernetes resources, such as stale revisions, apply errors, or dependency problems.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Identify Reconciliation Failures: Pinpoints the root cause of Ready=False states in Flux Kustomizations.
  • Troubleshoot Source Issues: Detects and helps fix problems with Flux sources (e.g., Git repositories not updating).
  • Remediate Apply Errors: Provides steps to fix manifest syntax errors or missing resources.
  • Use Case: When a new Git commit isn't reflected in your cluster and flux get kustomization shows an error, this Skill guides you through checking sources, Kustomizations, and events to find the fix.

Quick Start

Use the Flux Debugging skill to diagnose why the 'openclaw' kustomization is not ready.

Frequently Asked Questions about Flux Debugging

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
Why is my Flux CD kustomization stuck in a Ready=False state?

Flux CD kustomization reconciliation failures occur when sources are outdated, manifest apply errors exist, or dependencies are not met. This Skill diagnoses the root cause by checking kustomization status, source synchronization, and recent events.

How do I troubleshoot Flux CD sources that are not updating with new Git commits?

Troubleshooting outdated Flux CD sources involves verifying Git repository connections and detecting stale revisions. This Skill checks source status and events to identify why new commits are not being fetched and applied to the cluster.

What is the best way to fix Flux CD SOPS decryption issues during reconciliation?

Fixing Flux CD SOPS decryption issues requires checking Kustomization decryption configurations and key references. This Skill diagnoses SOPS decryption failures and provides remediation steps to ensure secrets decrypt and apply correctly.

How do I resolve Flux CD dependency errors preventing kustomization reconciliation?

Resolving Flux CD dependency errors requires checking Kustomization dependsOn configurations and health statuses. This Skill identifies unresolved dependencies blocking reconciliation and guides you through correcting the execution order.

Do I need the Flux CLI and kubectl to diagnose GitOps reconciliation failures?

Yes, diagnosing Flux CD reconciliation failures requires both the Flux CLI and kubectl. This Skill uses these tools to inspect kustomization states, source conditions, and cluster events to generate accurate remediation commands.

How do I fix Flux CD apply errors caused by missing resources or manifest syntax issues?

Fixing Flux CD apply errors involves identifying manifest syntax problems or missing resources during the apply phase. This Skill pinpoints the specific apply failure from events and provides steps to correct the problematic manifests.
