Resource Status and Events

Kratix follows the Kubernetes convention of using status and events to convey the status of a Resource and to allow programmatic interactions.

Conditions​

Resources have the following list of conditions:

  • ConfigureWorkflowCompleted – all Configure workflow pipelines finished successfully.
  • WorksSucceeded – every Work created for the Resource has completed.
  • Reconciled – Resource has been successfully reconciled; set to true when all the above conditions are all true.

Example output:

status:
  conditions:
  - lastTransitionTime: "2025-06-23T14:07:29Z"
    message: Pipelines completed
    reason: PipelinesExecutedSuccessfully
    status: "True"
    type: ConfigureWorkflowCompleted
  - lastTransitionTime: "2025-06-23T14:07:32Z"
    message: Reconciled
    reason: Reconciled
    status: "True"
    type: Reconciled
  - lastTransitionTime: "2025-06-23T14:03:24Z"
    message: All works associated with this resource are ready
    reason: WorksSucceeded
    status: "True"
    type: WorksSucceeded
  lastSuccessfulConfigureWorkflowTime: "2025-06-23T14:07:29Z"

Last Successful ConfigureWorkflow​

A Resource also records the time of the last successful Configure workflow run in status.lastSuccessfulConfigureWorkflowTime.

Events​

Events note important steps in the Resource lifecycle such as starting a workflow job or encountering errors.

Inspect them with:

kubectl describe <resource> <name>

Example Resource events:

kubectl describe <resource> <name>
...
Events:
  Type     Reason              Age                From                       Message
  ----     ------              ----               ----                       -------
  Normal   PipelineStarted     7m13s              ResourceRequestController  Configure Pipeline started: instance-configure
  Warning  WorksMisplaced      2m27s              ResourceRequestController  Some works associated with this resource are misplaced: [redis-example-instance-configure-b11aa]
  Normal   WorksSucceeded      8s (x2 over 7m9s)  ResourceRequestController  All works associated with this resource are ready
  Normal   ReconcileSucceeded  8s (x2 over 7m9s)  ResourceRequestController  Successfully reconciled

Successful events will be of type Normal whereas errors will be published as Warning events. These events help in troubleshooting and understanding the status of your Resource requests.
