Argocd Application does not pick the changes in its own annotations/labels and sync options. about argo-cd

Hi Arun, thanks for raising the issue.

Annotation change in Argocd Application is not getting updated in the argo application.

Argo CD will be monitoring your GitHub Repository where your application manifests have been deployed. If your Argo CD manifest is not getting monitored by the Argo CD, you can use the kubectl apply command to reflect those changes to the Argo CD UI. If you want Argo CD to update the annotations automatically, you need to make sure that Argo CD monitors your Argo CD application manifest (pass the correct path and see if a resource of kind Application gets created). Generally, you'd let Argo CD monitor your application manifests stored in the GitHub Repository. Any changes to those manifests (deployment, svc...) on the github repo will automatically sync the state. The similar things goes for Sync Options too.

I'd recommend using kubectl apply command to reflect those changes to the Argo CD instead of expecting to changes to get automatically reflected from the github repository when your Argo CD is not monitoring the correct path where the Argo CD manifest is located. Looking at your configuration and resources created, i don't see any resource of kind Application being created which means Argo CD is monitoring the path where your Argo CD manifest has been created.

Let me know if it makes sense to you.

@nitishfy - My k8s manifest like deploy, svc etc, are present inside the folder nginx and my Argocd Application is present in the root directory of the repo. So you mean to say since my argocd application manifest is configured to monitor nginx folder, it does not pick the changes made to argocd app manifest. Is that right ?

I will try adding root directory in the path and revert back if the issue persist, thanks for replying.
