How to configure Notifications for ArgoRollouts

[durprasa]

Hello,

I am using only argo-rollouts for canary deployments. which seems pretty neat.
Now I want to use the notifications described here - https://argoproj.github.io/argo-rollouts/features/notifications/
few things are not so very clear to me. So requesting some clarifications.

• Do we need to install notification controller? - https://argocd-notifications.readthedocs.io/en/stable/#getting-started

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: argo-rollouts-notification-configmap
data:
  # detail of the templates is omitted
  # detail of the triggers is omitted
  service.slack: |
    token: $slack-token
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: argo-rollouts-notification-secret
stringData:
  slack-token: <my-slack-token>

in the above stub, should the names be as provided above? does these need to created in each namespace or just in argo-rollouts namespace?

I did create the above resources in argo-rollouts namespace, subscribed rollout resource with the annotations but I don't see any notifications getting triggered. How could I triage this?
I would really appreciate any suggestions on this. Thanks!

Hi @durprasa ,

1. You don't need to install notification controller it is already embedded in argo-rollouts.
2. Yes you need to keep the names of configmap and secret as given.
3. The cm and secret need to be created in argo-rollouts namespace.
4. You can check details here: Can't send Notifications To Slack #1894 for notification configuration with slack.

@RaviHari Could you please comment what could be missing in my configuration? I see empty array for notifications.

time="2022-04-26T21:08:10Z" level=info msg="Trigger on-rollout-updated result: []" resource=onecloud/deploy-test

@RaviHari even I was seeing the same error as the comment mentioned above.

time="2022-05-03T00:06:22Z" level=error msg="Failed to process: Object 'Kind' is missing in '{\"metadata\":{\"annotations\":{\"meta.helm.sh/release-name\":\"deploy-test\",\"meta.helm.sh/release-namespace\":\"onecloud\",\"notifications.argoproj.io/subscribe.on-rollout-step-completed.teams\":\"channelName\",\"notifications.argoproj.io/subscribe.on-rollout-updated.teams\":\"channelName\",\"rollout.argoproj.io/revision\":\"4\"},\"creationTimestamp\":\"2022-04-24T08:30:59Z\"

When you can find time, could you please take a look here and suggest if I am missing any configuration?
