Configuration

Application configuration YAML

This plugin requires a backend proxy configuration to make calls to your argo-cd instance with authentication.

• Under the Plugins tab in Admin, go to app-config.yaml and Edit YAML to configure your username along with the url to your argo instance in the format as shown below.

# app-config.yaml
argocd:
  username: your-username
  password: ${ARGOCD_PASSWORD}
  appLocatorMethods:
    - type: 'config'
      instances:
        - name: argoInstance1
          url: https://argoInstance1.com
          token: ${ARGOCD_AUTH_TOKEN}

Secrets

• You need to add the ARGOCD_PASSWORD and ARGOCD_AUTH_TOKEN(Optional) as a Harness Secret. Also, if both are mentioned ARGOCD_PASSWORD will take precedence.

• Create secret in Harness to store API token, click on “New Secret Text” and enter values as shown below.

Layout

No action required

This plugin exports a UI card that you can show on the Overview tab of a service or any other layout page. The following configuration is set by default in Layout under Catalog Entities for Service and you do not need to change anything:

- component: EntityArgoCDOverviewCard

Annotations

• Details of your argo-cd instance are correlated to IDP entities using an annotation added in the entity's catalog-info.yaml file.

metadata:
  annotations:
    argocd/app-name: <your-app-name>

Note

When using ArgoCD without SSL(HTTPS), the plugin may fail to retrieve data correctly, even if configured with the HTTPS endpoint. This occurs because when operating over HTTP, ArgoCD will not accept the connection unless the server.insecure configuration is set to true.

In Kubernetes (K8s) environments where ArgoCD is deployed, the associated ConfigMap may not include this configuration flag by default. The server.insecure flag needs to be enabled in the ConfigMap to allow HTTP access. The following Kubernetes commands can be used to enable this configuration:

kubectl patch configmap argocd-cmd-params-cm -n argocd --type merge -p '{"data":{"server.insecure":"true"}}'
kubectl rollout restart deployment argocd-server -n argocd
