UI - Add Link From Application to its Parent ApplicationSet about argo-cd HOT 9 CLOSED

This probably belongs in the https://github.com/argoproj/argo-helm repo cc @jmeridth

from argo-cd.

Deep links are one option, but I think you could accomplish the same by templating in an external-link annotation: https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user-guide/external-url/

@jmeridth I had my tabs confused and this is actually for another issue. Sorry about the noise! Will tag you there

@christianh814 is this existing functionality and we'd need to expose in argo-cd helm chart's values.yaml? Asking our argo-cd helm chart folks while asking here.

@neevnuv I think this can be configured already with https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/operator-manual/deep_links/. You should have access to the metadata.ownerReferences field. Can you try building one and if it is successful, we could add it in the documentation examples?

Hi, thank you for the suggestions, it was the thing we looked for.
In our environment we have applications that deploys an applicationset that deploys other applications. This way we deploy all our applications from a single application.

When trying add a link to an application to the applicationset that created it, we could not link it properly because the name of the ApplicationSet inside the metadata.ownerReferences is different then the application that deploys it.

we could only get this far:

application.links:
  - url: https://<argo-route>/applications/{{ (index .app.metadata.ownerReferences 0).name }}
    title: Parent ApplicationSet
    if: application.metadata.ownerReferences != nil

from argo-cd.

@neevnuv Can you share the content of the .metadata.ownerReferences and the expected url ? Go template has a couple of functions available that should allow you to parse the data to get the correct value.

@agaudreault my .metadata.ownerReferences looks like this:

ownerReferences:
  - apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
    blockOwnerDeletion: true
    controller: true
    kind: ApplicationSet
    name: my-application-set
    uid: <long-uid>

The issue with this OwnerReferences is that you cannot assume the appliction the appset is deployed from.
I think an option here is to create a link based on an annotation on the Appset/Application.

Thank you! This helped
