"Dependencies do not meet ready condition" notification

[nicogl]

I set up a couple of Kustomizations, one with some infrastructure-base components (controllers) and the other one for the main application.

Everything is working fine; the application is running and the continuous delivery pipeline implemented by Flux works as expected when changes are done/commited.

However, I'm getting some weird notifications in my Slack channel every now and then... for example I got below notification once every three hours approximately:

Note the green color of the vertical bar in the Slack notification... as per my understanding this means that it's not an error.

And if I check the "kustomize-controller" pod's log, I can see messages like this:

{"level":"error","ts":"2021-03-26T02:39:43.980Z","logger":"controller.kustomization","msg":"Dependencies do not meet ready condition, retrying in 30s","reconciler group":"kustomize.toolkit.fluxcd.io","reconciler kind":"Kustomization","name":"apps","namespace":"flux-system","error":"dependency 'flux-system/infrastructure' is not ready"}

Note that I didn't make any change in between notifications or since I deployed the application for the first time. Also, as I said before, the application runs fine and seems that there's no outage.

Any idea what may be causing this notification to trigger?

I see something similar as well. I'm happy to provide additional information, though not sure exactly where to dig deeper.

Hi @stefanprodan and @hiddeco
Any suggestion that you can provide on this? Thanks in advance

[stefanprodan]

The log level is wrong, should be info as this a just a to let you know that the dependency is reconciling so no action can be taken.

I see in the code the event is sent with Info but the error is logged with Error. I I can send out a PR to update this from Error to Info, looking for an excuse to learn about flux2, if nobody has already done it.
