Metadata.name changed in for all Kubernetes components in apps of apps

[lakshmipasala]

we are using Argocd(tools) to deploy argocd and other components on multiple k8s clusters using apps of apps. I have upgraded argocd from 2.5.2 to 2.82, after upgraded, all the Argocd's metadata.name, app.kubernetes.io/instance in apps of apps got changed from "argocd" to "cluster1-argocd", due that application is creating new deployments, svc, sts etc with new names and ready to delete old deployment if prune it. Can you please suggest here..

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1 kind: ApplicationSet metadata: name: argocd-appset spec: syncPolicy: preserveResourcesOnDeletion: true generators:

• git: repoURL: repo url for the config files revision: master files:
  • path: cluster1
  • path: clsuter2 template: metadata: name: '{{cluster.name}}-argocd' spec: project: default syncPolicy: syncOptions:
    • CreateNamespace=true
    • ApplyOutOfSyncOnly=true
      source: chart: argo-cd plugin: env:
      • name: APPLICATION_NAME value: argocd
      • name: HELM_VALUES value: | {{ argocd.values }} repoURL: XXXX targetRevision: '{{ argocd.version }}' destination: server: '{{cluster.address}}' namespace: argocd

Your appset is templating out the name to be name: '{{cluster.name}}-argocd'.

But same thing was not happening on privious version

I am having a hard time following. Can you describe how you upgraded Argo CD? Argo CD isn't going to change any of your existing ApplicationSets, if your metadata.name was "argocd" before something changed it to {{cluster.name}}-argocd which will delete and create your applicationsets and possibility your applications.

Let me describe more here...

1. I have deployed argocd on every k8s cluster using apps of apps from ARGOCD(ex: tools) - upgraded argocds to 2.8.2 from same tools argocd only --> no issues observed.
2. I have deployed tools argocd using helm charts manually, and tried to upgrade it 2.8.2 manually, then we are facing issue on all argocds which deployed using apps of apps.

metadata.name, app.kubernetes.io/instance are getting changed to clustername-argocd
