BUG REPORT (helm-converter) : problem when parsing datasource section when converting to VMAlert object

[ccaillet1974]

Hi,

I've got the following error:

cannot unmarshal input file: error unmarshaling JSON: while decoding JSON: json: cannot unmarshal object into Go struct field VMAlertDatasourceSpec.server.datasource.HTTPAuth.headers of type []string
exit status 1

The corresponding datasource section of my values file is:

datasource:
    url: "http://lyo0-sfr-int-unify-vmauth.kube-vlogs.svc:8427"
    # url: "http://lyo0-int-cdn-cvlogs-vlselect.kube-vlogs.svc:9471/select/multitenant"
    # -- Basic auth for datasource
    # basicAuth:
    #   username: ""
    #   password: ""
    #   # -- Auth based on Bearer token for datasource
    bearer:
      # -- Token with Bearer token. You can use one of token or tokenFile. You don't need to add "Bearer" prefix string
      token: "Nzqh1+ow0l4N6MFkxV2kAFtXBen1v/R6nuWlv3xVO04="
    #   # -- Token Auth file with Bearer token. You can use one of token or tokenFile
    #   tokenFile: ""

thanks for an issue. fix was merged

Seems to be fixed for datasource, except the fact that my token is ignored. More important it seems that there some trouble with helm-converter or maybe vmalert is totally unfinished because I've got this manifest from my helm values file which is already deployed :

apiVersion: operator.victoriametrics.com/v1beta1
kind: VMAlert
metadata:
  name: victoria-metrics-alert
  namespace: kube-vmetrics
spec:
  affinity: {}
  configReloaderResources: {}
  datasource:
    url: http://lyo0-sfr-int-unify-vmauth.kube-vlogs.svc:8427
  extraArgs:
    clusterMode: "true"
    envflag.enable: "true"
    envflag.prefix: VM_
    httpListenAddr: :8880
    license.forceOffline: "true"
    loggerFormat: json
    remoteWrite.disablePathAppend: "true"
    rule: '[/config/alert-rules.yaml]'
  image:
    pullPolicy: IfNotPresent
    repository: victoriametrics/vmalert
  notifier: {}
  remoteRead:
    url: ""
  remoteWrite:
    url: ""
  replicaCount: 1
  resources: {}
  securityContext: {}
status: {}

According to this result I see that remoteRead, remoteWrite resources, securityContext and of course the main thing the rules configured are ignored.

There is something rotten in the Denmark realm :)

Do I need to open a new ticket on this partial conversion ?

no need to do it, will address it soon
