Kubernetes Triggers

The Testkube Dashboard allows you to create and manage the Kubernetes Triggers available in your Environments.

tip

Check out the Kubernetes Event Triggers document to learn how Event Triggers work in Testkube.

Triggers are defined under an Environment and are managed from the "Kubernetes Triggers" tab in the Integrations panel:

Triggers

You will see the list of currently available triggers. Select one of these to review, update or delete.

Creating a New Trigger​

Select the Create a new trigger button to create a new Kubernetes Trigger:

Create New Trigger

tip

The wizard to create a Trigger only exposes basic Trigger configurations, for more advanced condition and action configuration you can modify the generated YAML directly in the Definition tab for your Trigger.

New Trigger Condition​

You will initially be prompted for

  • the Name of the Trigger - must be a valid Kubernetes name as Triggers are stored as CRDs in your cluster.
  • the K8s Resource kind to monitor for events.
  • the Resources Identifier for which resources to monitor, can either be a list of Kubernetes Labels or a specific resource name.
  • the Triggered event to listen for.

New Trigger Action​

Once the condition has been specified, you need to specify what action to take when the trigger occurs:

  • select the Testkube action to perform.
  • select the target Testkube Resource for the action, either by Labels or by Name.

Trigger Settings​

Selecting a Trigger from the list of Triggers shows its Settings.

As with the wizard above to create a Trigger, the Settings tab only expose basic Trigger configurations, for more advanced condition and action configuration you can modify the generated YAML directly in the Definition tab for your Trigger.

General​

The General tab allows you to modify the name of the Trigger and delete it if needed.
