ArgoCD Metrics

Metrics groundcover collects from ArgoCD.

groundcover collects these native Prometheus metrics from ArgoCD's component endpoints (application controller, API server, repo server, ApplicationSet, notifications, commit server). Each metric is searchable by its exact name.

Labels

Labels available across the ArgoCD metrics (scoped per metric family). le appears only on the _bucket series of histogram metrics.

Label	Description	Example values
name	Application or ApplicationSet name.	guestbook
namespace	Namespace the Application/ApplicationSet object lives in (the Argo CD control-plane namespace). Surfaces as exported_namespace on the gc side when it collides with the scrape namespace label.	argocd
project	Argo CD project the Application belongs to.	default
sync_status	Application sync status.	Synced, OutOfSync, Unknown
health_status	Application health status.	Healthy, Degraded, Progressing, Suspended, Missing, Unknown
operation	Current operation phase on the application, if any.	Sync, ""
autosync_enabled	Whether automated sync is enabled for the application.	true, false
repo	Source repository URL of the application.	https://github.com/argoproj/argocd-example-apps
dest_server	Destination cluster API server URL.	https://kubernetes.default.svc
dest_namespace	Destination namespace the application deploys into.	guestbook
phase	Sync result phase.	Succeeded, Failed, Error, Running, Terminating
server	Managed cluster API server URL.	https://kubernetes.default.svc
k8s_version	Kubernetes version of the managed cluster.	1.29
initiator	Component that initiated the Redis request.
failed	Whether the Redis request failed.	true, false
command	kubectl command executed.	get, list
verb	HTTP verb of the kubectl request.	GET, POST, PUT
code	Response status code.	200, 403, 500
extension	Configured proxy extension name.
trigger	Notification trigger name.
service	Notification service the delivery was sent through.	slack, email
