Provider

The Provider API defines how events are encoded and the webhook address where they are dispatched.

Specification

Spec:

type ProviderSpec struct {
	// Type of provider
	// +kubebuilder:validation:Enum=slack;discord;msteams;rocket;generic;github;gitlab;bitbucket;azuredevops;googlechat;webex
	// +required
	Type string `json:"type"`

	// Alert channel for this provider
	// +optional
	Channel string `json:"channel,omitempty"`

	// Bot username for this provider
	// +optional
	Username string `json:"username,omitempty"`

	// HTTP/S webhook address of this provider
	// +kubebuilder:validation:Pattern="^(http|https)://"
	// +optional
	Address string `json:"address,omitempty"`

	// HTTP/S address of the proxy
	// +kubebuilder:validation:Pattern="^(http|https)://"
	// +optional
	Proxy string `json:"proxy,omitempty"`

	// Secret reference containing the provider webhook URL
	// +optional
	SecretRef *meta.LocalObjectReference `json:"secretRef,omitempty"`
}

Notification providers:

Slack
Discord
Microsoft Teams
Rocket
Google Chat
Webex
Sentry
Generic webhook

Git commit status providers:

GitHub
GitLab
Bitbucket
Azure DevOps

Status:

// ProviderStatus defines the observed state of Provider
type ProviderStatus struct {
	// +optional
	Conditions []Condition `json:"conditions,omitempty"`
}

Status condition types:

const (
	// ReadyCondition represents the fact that a given object has passed
	// validation and was acknowledge by the controller.
	ReadyCondition string = "Ready"
)

Example

Notifications

apiVersion: notification.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1beta1
kind: Provider
metadata:
  name: slack
  namespace: default
spec:
  type: slack
  channel: general
  # webhook address (ignored if secretRef is specified)
  address: https://hooks.slack.com/services/YOUR/SLACK/WEBHOOK
  # HTTP(S) proxy (optional)
  proxy: https://proxy.corp:8080
  # secret containing the webhook address (optional)
  secretRef:
    name: webhook-url

Webhook URL secret:

kubectl create secret generic webhook-url \
--from-literal=address=https://hooks.slack.com/services/YOUR/SLACK/WEBHOOK

Note that the secret must contain an address field.

The provider type can be: slack, msteams, rocket, discord, googlechat, webex, sentry, github, gitlab, bitbucket, azuredevops or generic.

When type generic is specified, the notification controller will post the incoming event in JSON format to the webhook address.

Git commit status

The GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps provider will write to the commit status in the git repository from which the event originates from.

!!! hint "Limitations" The git notification providers require that a commit hash present in the meta data of the event. There for the the providers will only work with Kustomization as an event source, as it is the only resource which includes this data.

apiVersion: notification.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1beta1
kind: Provider
metadata:
  name: podinfo
  namespace: default
spec:
  # provider type can be github or gitlab
  type: github
  address: https://github.com/stefanprodan/podinfo
  secretRef:
    name: api-token

Authentication

GitHub. GitLab, and Azure DevOps use personal access tokens to authenticate with their API:

The providers require a secret in the same format, with the personal access token as the value for the token key:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: api-token
  namespace: default
data:
  token: <personal-access-tokens>

Bitbucket authenticates using an app password. It requires both the username and the password when authenticating. There for the token needs to be passed with the format <username>:<app-password>. A token that is not in this format will cause the provider to fail.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: api-token
  namespace: default
data:
  token: <username>:<app-password>

Generic webhook

The generic webhook triggers an HTTP POST request to the provided endpoint.

The Gotk-Component header identifies which component this event is coming from, e.g. source-controller, kustomize-controller.

POST / HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Accept-Encoding: gzip
Content-Length: 452
Content-Type: application/json
Gotk-Component: source-controller
User-Agent: Go-http-client/1.1

The body of the request looks like this:

{
  "involvedObject": {
    "kind":"GitRepository",
    "namespace":"flux-system",
    "name":"flux-system",
    "uid":"cc4d0095-83f4-4f08-98f2-d2e9f3731fb9",
    "apiVersion":"source.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1beta1",
    "resourceVersion":"56921",
  },
  "severity":"info",
  "timestamp":"2006-01-02T15:04:05Z",
  "message":"Fetched revision: main/731f7eaddfb6af01cb2173e18f0f75b0ba780ef1",
  "reason":"info",
  "reportingController":"source-controller",
  "reportingInstance":"source-controller-7c7b47f5f-8bhrp",
}

The involvedObject key contains the object that triggered the event.

Self signed certificates

The certSecretRef field names a secret with TLS certificate data. This is for the purpose of enabling a provider to communicate with a server using a self signed cert.

To use the field create a secret, containing a CA file, in the same namespace and reference it from the provider.

SECRET_NAME=tls-certs
kubectl create secret generic $SECRET_NAME \
  --from-file=caFile=ca.crt
