  <h1>ExternalSecret</h1>

<p>The <code>ExternalSecret</code> describes what data should be fetched, how the data should
be transformed and saved as a <code>Kind=Secret</code>:</p>
<ul>
<li>tells the operator what secrets should be synced by using <code>spec.data</code> to
  explicitly sync individual keys or use <code>spec.dataFrom</code> to get <strong>all values</strong>
  from the external API.</li>
<li>you can specify how the secret should look like by specifying a
  <code>spec.target.template</code></li>
</ul>
<h2 id="template">Template</h2>
<p>When the controller reconciles the <code>ExternalSecret</code> it will use the <code>spec.template</code> as a blueprint to construct a new <code>Kind=Secret</code>. You can use golang templates to define the blueprint and use template functions to transform secret values. You can also pull in <code>ConfigMaps</code> that contain golang-template data using <code>templateFrom</code>. See <a href="../../guides/templating/">advanced templating</a> for details.</p>
<h2 id="update-behavior-with-3-different-refresh-policies">Update behavior with 3 different refresh policies</h2>
<p>You can control how and when the <code>ExternalSecret</code> is refreshed by setting the <code>spec.refreshPolicy</code> field. If not specified, the default behavior is <code>Periodic</code>.</p>
<h3 id="createdonce">CreatedOnce</h3>
<p>With <code>refreshPolicy: CreatedOnce</code>, the controller syncs the <code>Kind=Secret</code> once per
<code>ExternalSecret</code> object and then stops:</p>
<ul>
<li>Runs a single sync on the first reconcile of the <code>ExternalSecret</code>, creating or
  overwriting the target <code>Kind=Secret</code></li>
<li>Does not refresh on a schedule or when the source data changes</li>
<li>Still re-syncs if the target <code>Kind=Secret</code> is changed or deleted while the same
  <code>ExternalSecret</code> object still exists</li>
<li>Useful for immutable credentials or when you want to manage updates manually</li>
</ul>
<p>The "once" is tracked on the <code>ExternalSecret</code>'s own status (<code>syncedResourceVersion</code>
and <code>refreshTime</code>), not on whether the target Secret already exists.</p>
<div class="admonition warning">
<p class="admonition-title">Recreating the ExternalSecret re-syncs the target Secret</p>
<p><code>CreatedOnce</code> does not check whether the target Secret already exists. If the
<code>ExternalSecret</code> object itself is deleted and recreated (for example by a GitOps
controller that prunes and re-applies it), its status resets and the controller
performs a fresh sync that overwrites the existing target Secret. With a
stateless generator such as the Password generator this produces a brand new
value, so the target Secret and any credential already derived from the old
value diverge with no way to recover the original.</p>
<p><code>creationPolicy</code> does not guard against this: <code>Owner</code>, <code>Orphan</code>, <code>Merge</code> and
<code>CreateOrMerge</code> all rewrite the managed keys on that sync. The only field that prevents an existing
target Secret's data from being overwritten is <code>spec.target.immutable: true</code>,
which skips the data update whenever the Secret already exists. Combine
<code>refreshPolicy: CreatedOnce</code> with <code>spec.target.immutable: true</code> for credentials
that must be generated once and never change.</p>

<p>To generate a credential exactly once and never overwrite it afterward, even if
the <code>ExternalSecret</code> object is recreated, combine <code>refreshPolicy: CreatedOnce</code> with
<code>spec.target.immutable: true</code>. This is the correct pattern for a credential that an
application persists on first run (for example a Keycloak admin password written
into the application database at bootstrap): regenerating the value later would
leave the target Secret out of sync with the live credential. <code>creationPolicy:
Orphan</code> keeps the target Secret in place if the <code>ExternalSecret</code> is deleted, and
<code>immutable: true</code> stops any later reconcile (including one triggered by recreating
the <code>ExternalSecret</code>) from rewriting the existing data.</p>

<p>With <code>refreshPolicy: Periodic</code> (the default behavior), the controller will:</p>
<ul>
<li>Create the <code>Kind=Secret</code> if it doesn't exist</li>
<li>Update the <code>Kind=Secret</code> regularly based on the <code>spec.refreshInterval</code> duration</li>
<li>When <code>spec.refreshInterval</code> is set to zero, it will only create the secret once and not update it afterward</li>
<li>When <code>spec.refreshInterval</code> is set to a value greater than zero, the controller will update the <code>Kind=Secret</code> at the specified interval or when the <code>ExternalSecret</code> specification changes</li>
</ul>

<li>Update the <code>Kind=Secret</code> only when the <code>ExternalSecret</code>'s metadata or specification changes</li>
<li>This policy is independent of the <code>refreshInterval</code> value</li>
<li>Useful when you want to manually control when the secret is updated, by modifying the <code>ExternalSecret</code> resource</li>
</ul>
<p>Example:

<h2 id="manual-refresh">Manual Refresh</h2>
<p>If supported by the configured <code>refreshPolicy</code>, you can manually trigger a refresh of the <code>Kind=Secret</code> by updating the annotations of the <code>ExternalSecret</code>:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>kubectl annotate es my-es force-sync=$(date +%s) --overwrite
</code></pre></div>
<h2 id="syncwindows">SyncWindows</h2>
<p><code>syncWindows</code> restricts <strong>when</strong> periodic refreshes may occur. It is evaluated in UTC and applies only to the <code>Periodic</code> refresh policy (or when <code>refreshPolicy</code> is unset). <code>OnChange</code> and <code>CreatedOnce</code> policies are unaffected.</p>
<p>A sync-windows block carries a shared <code>kind</code> and a list of <code>schedule + duration</code> entries:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>kind: allow</code> -- periodic syncs are permitted <strong>only</strong> while at least one window is active; all other times are blocked.</li>
<li><code>kind: deny</code> -- periodic syncs are <strong>blocked</strong> while any window is active; all other times proceed normally.</li>
</ul>
<p>Each entry in <code>windows</code> uses a standard 5-field cron <code>schedule</code> (UTC) and a <code>duration</code> string (e.g. <code>8h</code>, <code>30m</code>). The window stays open for <code>duration</code> after each schedule firing. A window entry with an unparseable <code>schedule</code> is silently ignored and treated as inactive, so a typo does not permanently block syncs.</p>

<h3 id="multiple-windows">Multiple windows</h3>
<p>You can list several entries under <code>windows</code>. For <code>kind: allow</code>, the sync is permitted when <strong>any</strong> window is active. For <code>kind: deny</code>, the sync is blocked when <strong>any</strong> window is active.</p>
<h3 id="interaction-with-refreshinterval">Interaction with refreshInterval</h3>
<p><code>syncWindows</code> only suppresses sync operations -- it does not change how often the controller checks. The controller still requeues at <code>refreshInterval</code> regardless of whether a sync was blocked. This means that if <code>refreshInterval</code> is longer than <code>window.duration</code>, a window could open and close entirely between two consecutive checks and the sync would be missed for that occurrence. This is by design: <code>refreshInterval</code> is the primary driver; <code>syncWindows</code> is a gate on top of it. To ensure no window occurrence is missed, set <code>refreshInterval</code> to a value shorter than the smallest <code>window.duration</code>.</p>
