Problem statement: An application in ArgoCD that was previously running smoothly has suddenly started to fail. Its status has changed to “Unknown”. The “Refresh” button is grayed out in the Argo web UI.
I found the following works in this scenario, which is typically a transient issue:
- restart the argo server
- restart the argo repo server
In terms of commands:
shell
% kubectl rollout restart deployment argocd-server -n argocd
% kubectl rollout restart deployment argocd-repo-server -n argocd
