Validated Patterns

Troubleshooting the RHOSO GitOps pattern

Validating the pattern

Run pattern validation commands from the pattern repository root:

$ ./pattern.sh make validate-prereq
$ ./pattern.sh make validate-schema
$ ./pattern.sh make argo-healthcheck

Checking Argo CD application status

The pattern uses two Argo CD namespaces. List applications in each:

$ oc get applications -n vp-gitops
$ oc get applications -n openshift-gitops

Inspect a child application that is out of sync or unhealthy:

$ oc describe application <application-name> -n openshift-gitops

Use the Argo CD UI in the openshift-gitops namespace to review sync waves, resource health, and diff details for upstream overlays.

Checking pod status

To verify that workloads deployed successfully, list pods that are not Running or Completed:

$ oc get pods -A | grep -v Running | grep -v Completed

Review logs for a specific pod:

$ oc logs -n <namespace> <pod-name>

Known issues

  • openstack-secrets disabled — The default pattern leaves openstack-secrets disabled because no Git path is configured (path: TODO). Enable it only after you configure secret wiring and a bootstrap credential out of band. See Secret zero (bootstrap credential).

  • Upstream sync failures — Confirm targetRevision and paths in overrides/values-rhoso-gitops.yaml match a tag or branch that exists in openstack-k8s-operators/gitops.

  • Operator install delays — Infrastructure operators in operator-dependencies subscribe from the cluster catalog; allow time for OLM to resolve CSVs before later sync waves run.
