You may wish to exclude resources from the app's overall sync status under certain circumstances. E.g. if they are generated by a tool. This can be done by adding this annotation:
metadata:
annotations:
argocd.argoproj.io/compare-options: IgnoreExtraneous
!!! note This only affects the sync status. If the resource's health is degraded, then the app will also be degraded.
Kustomize has a feature that allows you to generate config maps (read more ⧉). You can set generatorOptions to add this annotation so that your app remains in sync:
configMapGenerator:
- name: my-map
literals:
- foo=bar
generatorOptions:
annotations:
argocd.argoproj.io/compare-options: IgnoreExtraneous
kind: Kustomization!!! note
generatorOptions adds annotations to both config maps and secrets (read more ⧉).
You may wish to combine this with the Prune=false sync option.
