What is Argo CD?

Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes.

Why Argo CD?

Application definitions, configurations, and environments should be declarative and version controlled. Application deployment and lifecycle management should be automated, auditable, and easy to understand.

This dashboard closely mirrors the official Argo CD Grafana dashboard (Link).

Requirements:

Prometheus Server or Prometheus Agent configured to remote write to New Relic.
Patch the Argo CD pods with prometheus.io/scrape=true podAnnotations. This will enable the New Relic Prometheus Integration to scrape Argo CD metrics:

kubectl patch deployment argocd-server -n argocd -p '{"spec": {"template":{"metadata":{"annotations":{"prometheus.io/scrape":"true","prometheus.io/port": "8083","prometheus.io/path": "metrics"}}}} }'

kubectl patch statefulset argocd-application-controller -n argocd -p '{"spec": {"template":{"metadata":{"annotations":{"prometheus.io/scrape":"true","prometheus.io/port": "8082","prometheus.io/path": "metrics"}}}} }'

kubectl patch deployment argocd-repo-server -n argocd -p '{"spec": {"template":{"metadata":{"annotations":{"prometheus.io/scrape":"true","prometheus.io/port": "8084","prometheus.io/path": "metrics"}}}} }'
