Flux not creating alert/provider defined in file, only works via CLI about notification-controller HOT 7 CLOSED

You need to add the new manifest files to the kustomization.yaml file in the flux-system directory.

from notification-controller.

You mean like this?

apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
resources:
- gotk-components.yaml
- gotk-sync.yaml
- discord-alert.yaml
- discord-provider.yaml

committed and pushed this, same thing, still no alert created

from notification-controller.

There is also nothing really mentioned about needing to do this in the docs from what I can tell? The example wants you to run a kubectl command, and the video / outside docs I've been following also don't mention anything about this.

https://docs.technotim.live/posts/flux-devops-gitops/
https://github.com/techno-tim/launchpad/tree/master/demos/flux-demo/clusters/home

from notification-controller.

Is there anywhere I can look for errors or logs where this resource is supposed to be created?

Ok sorry, I take it back, adding the files to kustomization.yaml did work. I had a bad helm configuration for longhorn, and it looks like that was causing errors in kustomization/flux-system for some reason (namespace was missing).

Should this be documented somewhere (specifically that the file(s) need to be added to kustomization.yaml) to have this defined declaratively rather than having to run a kubectl command? Maybe this is obvious if you know what you're doing, but when setting things up for the first time I think its pretty easy to not know you need to do this / miss it.

The documentation is supposed to be generic. We cannot take all permutations of different configuration options into account there.
