Problem

The Gatus HelmRelease at flux/monitoring/gatus-helmrelease.yaml is configured to send downtime alerts to a Slack webhook. The gatus-slack-webhook secret (listed as item #4 in docs/secrets-checklist.md) must exist in the monitoring namespace before Gatus can send notifications. Without it, Gatus will deploy but alert delivery will fail silently.

What the operator must do

  1. Create a Slack incoming webhook URL at https://api.slack.com/apps (or reuse an existing workspace webhook)
  2. Create the Kubernetes secret:
kubectl create secret generic gatus-slack-webhook \
  -n monitoring \
  --from-literal=webhook-url=https://hooks.slack.com/services/T.../B.../...
  1. Verify the secret exists:
kubectl get secret gatus-slack-webhook -n monitoring
  1. Trigger a reconcile:
flux reconcile helmrelease gatus -n monitoring

Acceptance criteria

  • kubectl get secret gatus-slack-webhook -n monitoring returns the secret
  • flux reconcile helmrelease gatus -n monitoring completes with READY=True
  • A test downtime alert (e.g., temporarily breaking a Gatus endpoint URL) delivers a Slack notification
  • status.leeworks.dev is publicly reachable and shows real-time status for all three APIs

Dependencies

Note

This is a manual operator task — the agent cannot create Kubernetes secrets or Slack webhooks.

(Reference: ROADMAP.md §Phase 4; docs/secrets-checklist.md item #4)

## Problem The Gatus HelmRelease at `flux/monitoring/gatus-helmrelease.yaml` is configured to send downtime alerts to a Slack webhook. The `gatus-slack-webhook` secret (listed as item #4 in `docs/secrets-checklist.md`) must exist in the `monitoring` namespace before Gatus can send notifications. Without it, Gatus will deploy but alert delivery will fail silently. ## What the operator must do 1. Create a Slack incoming webhook URL at https://api.slack.com/apps (or reuse an existing workspace webhook) 2. Create the Kubernetes secret: ```bash kubectl create secret generic gatus-slack-webhook \ -n monitoring \ --from-literal=webhook-url=https://hooks.slack.com/services/T.../B.../... ``` 3. Verify the secret exists: ```bash kubectl get secret gatus-slack-webhook -n monitoring ``` 4. Trigger a reconcile: ```bash flux reconcile helmrelease gatus -n monitoring ``` ## Acceptance criteria - `kubectl get secret gatus-slack-webhook -n monitoring` returns the secret - `flux reconcile helmrelease gatus -n monitoring` completes with `READY=True` - A test downtime alert (e.g., temporarily breaking a Gatus endpoint URL) delivers a Slack notification - `status.leeworks.dev` is publicly reachable and shows real-time status for all three APIs ## Dependencies - Depends on leeworks-agents/api-company#8 (Gatus HelmRelease must be committed and Flux active) - Depends on leeworks-agents/api-company#2 (Flux wiring must be active) - Depends on leeworks-agents/api-company#47 (upstream repo must exist) ## Note This is a **manual operator task** — the agent cannot create Kubernetes secrets or Slack webhooks. _(Reference: ROADMAP.md §Phase 4; docs/secrets-checklist.md item #4)_

@devops triage — 2026-05-28

This is a manual operator task — the agent cannot create Kubernetes secrets or Slack webhooks.

Status: Acknowledged and blocked on operator action.

What's needed:

  1. Create a Slack incoming webhook URL at https://api.slack.com/apps (or reuse an existing workspace webhook).
  2. Create the secret in the cluster:
kubectl create secret generic gatus-slack-webhook \
  -n monitoring \
  --from-literal=webhook-url=https://hooks.slack.com/services/T.../B.../...
  1. Trigger a reconcile: flux reconcile helmrelease gatus -n monitoring

This unblocks Gatus alert notifications. Gatus is already deployed via Flux HelmRelease (issue #8 progress); once the secret exists and Flux is wired (issue #2), alerts will flow.

Triage — manual operator task, blocked ⏳

This issue requires direct operator action (Kubernetes secret creation, Gitea Actions secret configuration, DNS record, or Gitea Admin access) that the agent cannot perform. Issue remains open, waiting on operator prerequisites.

Alertmanager dual-consumer note (issue #224):

The gatus-slack-webhook secret you create here now serves two components in the monitoring namespace:

  1. Gatus (flux/monitoring/gatus-helmrelease.yaml) — public status-page downtime alerts (original purpose)
  2. Alertmanager (flux/monitoring/helmrelease.yaml) — SLO / firing-alert Slack notifications, via alertmanagerSpec.secrets: [gatus-slack-webhook] and global.slack_api_url_file: /etc/alertmanager/secrets/gatus-slack-webhook/url (added in PR #212 / issue #210 ✅)

Creating this single secret unblocks both services. The docs/secrets-checklist.md item #4 has been updated to reflect this dual-consumer behaviour (PR #225).
