Strimzi KafkaMirrorMaker and KafkaMirrorMaker2 have no built-in health check, so Argo CD marks them Healthy as soon as they are created, before the operator has deployed anything. That breaks sync waves that depend on the mirror being up (the case described in the issue).

This adds Lua checks for both kinds, following the existing Strimzi checks (KafkaConnect, KafkaBridge):

  • no status/conditions: Progressing
  • status.observedGeneration behind metadata.generation: Progressing
  • ReconciliationPaused=True (strimzi.io/pause-reconciliation): Suspended
  • NotReady=True: Degraded with the condition message
  • Ready=True: Healthy
  • KafkaMirrorMaker2 only: Degraded when any entry in status.connectors has the connector or a task in FAILED, so a failed mirror connector is not hidden behind Ready

KafkaMirrorMaker (MM1) was removed in recent Strimzi releases, but it is still in use on older clusters and is what the issue asked for, so it's included.

Fixes #5048

Testing: added testdata for every branch above and ran go test ./util/lua/... (all passing).

AI disclosure: I used an AI assistant while writing this change; I reviewed and tested the result myself.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Health reporting for Kafka MirrorMaker and Kafka MirrorMaker 2 distinguishes resources that are progressing, suspended, healthy, or degraded, including when status is missing or behind the latest generation.
    • Kafka MirrorMaker 2 health reporting also identifies failed connectors and connector tasks.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the upgrade guide with details about health statuses for both resource types.

…aMirrorMaker2

Both resources were reported as Healthy as soon as they were created.
The checks follow the Ready/NotReady conditions used by the other
Strimzi resources, wait for observedGeneration to catch up, report
Suspended when reconciliation is paused, and for KafkaMirrorMaker2 mark
the resource Degraded when a connector or task is FAILED.

Walkthrough

Health checks and test fixtures were added for Strimzi KafkaMirrorMaker and KafkaMirrorMaker2 resources. The checks evaluate status conditions and generation freshness. KafkaMirrorMaker2 also reports failed connectors and tasks as degraded. The upgrade guide describes the health outcomes.

The health check reports Progressing when status or conditions are absent, the observed generation is stale, or no matching true condition is found. It reports Suspended for paused reconciliation, Degraded for NotReady, and Healthy for Ready. Tests and fixtures cover these states.

Explanation

[#5048] The KafkaMirrorMaker Lua check reports Progressing until readiness is established, Degraded for NotReady, and Healthy for Ready. Test fixtures cover missing status, stale generation, degradation, readiness, and paused reconciliation. The current PR summary supports this assessment; the incremental diff was unavailable.

…the generation check

Strimzi keeps the previous observedGeneration while reconciliation is
paused, so the paused check has to come first.

Thanks! Added both checks under "Custom Healthchecks Added" in the 3.6 to 3.7 upgrade notes (d63d594).

The e2e failures were TestListRepoCLIOutput and TestGetRepoCLIOutput timing out on ls-remote against github.com (context deadline exceeded), so they look like a network flake rather than something from this change. The new push should re-run them.

Add a Ready=True fixture and test for a FAILED connector.

The Lua health check has a connector-level FAILED branch at health.lua:43-47. No test in health_test.yaml reaches it. Every FAILED case uses a RUNNING connector with a failed task. A regression in the connector branch would pass the current tests.

Add a fixture that matches degraded_failedTask.yaml, with Ready=True and connectors[0].connector.state: FAILED. Keep the task at RUNNING so that only the connector branch decides the result. Add a matching entry to health_test.yaml.

The red e2e (k8s v1.35.8, shard 2) job never reached the tests: the api-server panicked on startup with a nil pointer dereference inside client-go's Reflector.list (k8s.io/client-go@v0.37.0/tools/cache/reflector.go:741), so /healthz on :8088 never came up and the "Run E2E server and wait" step timed out after 30 min (see the e2e-server-k8sv1.35.8-shard2.log artifact of https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/actions/runs/42124589248). The other 15 e2e jobs passed on the same commit, and this PR only adds Lua health checks and their test data under resource_customizations/, so it looks like a one-off flake. A re-run of the failed job should clear it.

The e2e shard 2 failure is unrelated (the E2E server never came up within 30m). Could a maintainer re-run it?
