Context

PR #212 (issue #210 closed) enabled Alertmanager in the kube-prometheus-stack HelmRelease with a Slack receiver configured at:

alertmanager:
  enabled: true
  config:
    global:
      slack_api_url_file: /etc/alertmanager/secrets/gatus-slack-webhook/url
  alertmanagerSpec:
    secrets:
      - gatus-slack-webhook

The gatus-slack-webhook Kubernetes secret (monitoring namespace) is therefore now consumed by two components:

  1. Gatus (flux/monitoring/gatus-helmrelease.yaml) — for public status page alerts (issue #73 / checklist item #4)
  2. Alertmanager (flux/monitoring/helmrelease.yaml) — for SLO / firing alert Slack notifications

However, docs/secrets-checklist.md item #4 still reads:

gatus-slack-webhook (monitoring) — unblocks Gatus alert notifications

It does not mention Alertmanager. Similarly, issue #73's acceptance criteria only tests Gatus.

What to do

  1. Update docs/secrets-checklist.md item #4 description:
    • Change: — unblocks Gatus alert notifications
    • To: — unblocks Gatus alert notifications AND Alertmanager Slack SLO alerts
  2. Expand the Secret Details section #4 to note the dual consumer (Gatus + Alertmanager).
  3. Add a comment on issue #73 referencing the Alertmanager dependency so the operator knows creating this one secret serves both purposes.
  4. Open a PR with the docs/secrets-checklist.md change.

Acceptance Criteria

  • docs/secrets-checklist.md item #4 mentions both Gatus and Alertmanager as consumers of gatus-slack-webhook
  • Secret Details section §4 updated with note that alertmanagerSpec.secrets also mounts this secret
  • Comment posted on issue #73 clarifying dual-consumer behaviour
  • PR merged with kustomize build flux/ = PASS

Why this matters

When the operator creates the gatus-slack-webhook secret (issue #73), they may not realise it also unblocks Alertmanager SLO firing alerts. The checklist is the operator's primary reference — it must be accurate.

## Context PR #212 (issue #210 ✅ closed) enabled Alertmanager in the `kube-prometheus-stack` HelmRelease with a Slack receiver configured at: ```yaml alertmanager: enabled: true config: global: slack_api_url_file: /etc/alertmanager/secrets/gatus-slack-webhook/url alertmanagerSpec: secrets: - gatus-slack-webhook ``` The `gatus-slack-webhook` Kubernetes secret (monitoring namespace) is therefore now consumed by **two** components: 1. Gatus (`flux/monitoring/gatus-helmrelease.yaml`) — for public status page alerts (issue #73 / checklist item #4) 2. Alertmanager (`flux/monitoring/helmrelease.yaml`) — for SLO / firing alert Slack notifications However, `docs/secrets-checklist.md` item #4 still reads: > `gatus-slack-webhook` (monitoring) — unblocks Gatus alert notifications It does not mention Alertmanager. Similarly, issue #73's acceptance criteria only tests Gatus. ## What to do 1. Update `docs/secrets-checklist.md` item #4 description: - Change: `— unblocks Gatus alert notifications` - To: `— unblocks Gatus alert notifications AND Alertmanager Slack SLO alerts` 2.

The checklist is the operator's primary reference — it must be accurate. ## Dependencies - Depends on leeworks-agents/api-company#73 (operator must create the secret — this issue only updates docs) - References leeworks-agents/api-company#210 (Alertmanager implementation — closed ✅) - No code changes — documentation only
