"CREATE" ingress events added, when any of the worker node is recycled.

[vijay-veeranki]

We noticed there are CREATE ingress showing in the namespace events.

Investigated further and identified that these events are added when we recycle any node(terminate a worker node) in our cluster.

Example events:

monitoring              0s          Normal    CREATE                   ingress/alertmanager-proxy-oauth2-proxy                       Ingress monitoring/alertmanager-proxy-oauth2-proxy
kuberos                 0s          Normal    CREATE                   ingress/kuberos                                               Ingress kuberos/kuberos
monitoring              0s          Normal    CREATE                   ingress/prometheus-operator-grafana                           Ingress monitoring/prometheus-operator-grafana
starter-pack            0s          Normal    CREATE                   ingress/helloworld                                            Ingress starter-pack/helloworld
monitoring              0s          Normal    CREATE                   ingress/prometheus-proxy-oauth2-proxy                         Ingress monitoring/prometheus-proxy-oauth2-proxy

This is causing confusion as the actual ingress is not created but this event is created.

The CREATE is related to the ingress controller, not the ingress definition. That said, I see this could be confusing because of the lack of context.

Hi Manuel,

Thanks for your reply, yes it is confusing because that event is showing in the namespace where the ingress is created. Not in the ingress-controller namespace.

Do you know "The CREATE is related to the ingress controller" what does this ingress-controller CREATE process involve?

This is related to the client-go informer when an ingress is reported

ingress-nginx/internal/ingress/controller/store/store.go
