# Enabling argocd\_app\_condition Metrics in Akuity-Managed Argo CD

## How to expose and scrape argocd\_app\_condition metrics from the Argo CD Application Controller when using Akuity-managed instances

You attempted to configure alerts for **ArgoCD application health status** using the `argocd_app_condition` metric, but:

- The prometheus metric is **not available by default**.
- You **confirmed via curl** to the application controller metrics endpoint that  
  `argocd_app_condition` is missing.
- You are using an **Akuity-managed Argo CD instance** via the **Crossplane provider**.

You already verified that `argocd_app_info` is available (which is exposed by default), but `argocd_app_condition` requires **explicit enabling**.

By default, **Argo CD does not expose detailed application condition metrics** unless configured using:

> `--metrics-application-conditions` with a list of conditions to expose.

Akuity-managed instances **do not enable this flag automatically**, so you must **patch the Argo CD Application Controller deployment** to include the desired metrics.

### Add the required metrics flags via *`instanceValues.kustomization.patches`*

Here is the recommended patch configuration:

`instanceValues:   kustomization:     apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1     kind: Kustomization     patches:       # Existing patches (if any) would stay above       - target:           group: apps           kind: Deployment           name: argocd-application-controller         patch: |-           apiVersion: apps/v1           kind: Deployment           metadata:             name: argocd-application-controller           spec:             template:               spec:                 containers:                   - name: argocd-application-controller                     args:                       - --metrics-application-conditions=OrphanedResourceWarning                       - --metrics-application-conditions=ExcludedResourceWarning                       - --metrics-application-conditions=InvalidSpecError                       - --metrics-application-conditions=ComparisonError                       - --metrics-application-conditions=SyncError                       - --metrics-application-conditions=UnknownError                       - --metrics-application-conditions=SharedResourceWarning                       - --metrics-application-conditions=RepeatedResourceWarning`
