There has been several discussions to expose these errors as events & metrics. However, metac should first make this error available in a way that provides immediate help. Events & metrics will be designed & implemented eventually.
Metac can log these runtime errors against a specific field of custom resource e.g. status.metac.error
In addition, this should be enabled only when the sync hook response api desires such a behaviour via a boolean field.
e.g. https://github.com/AmitKumarDas/metac/blob/master/controller/generic/hooks.go#L49
type SyncHookResponse struct {
....
// this is the new boolean flag
// if true metac will set the custom resource's status.metac.error
// with latest runtime error
LogRuntimeError bool `json:"logRuntimeError"`
}
ProblemStatement: As a DevOps engineer, I want metac to display internal errors such as RBAC failure, discovery failure, & other runtime errors that happens during reconciliation against the custom resource that was being reconciled. As of now, I have no idea if something has gone wrong unless I check the logs of metac.
