<h2 id="can-i-manually-trigger-a-secret-refresh">Can i manually trigger a secret refresh?</h2>
<p>You can trigger a secret refresh by using kubectl or any other kubernetes api client.
You just need to change an annotation, label or the spec of the resource:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>kubectl annotate es my-es force-sync=$(date +%s) --overwrite
</code></pre></div>
<h2 id="how-do-i-know-when-my-secret-was-last-synced">How do i know when my secret was last synced?</h2>
<p>Every ExternalSecret resource contains a status condition that indicates the time when the secret was last synced:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>kubectl get es my-external-secret -o yaml | grep condition -A 5
  conditions:
  - lastTransitionTime: &quot;2022-05-21T21:02:47Z&quot;
    message: Secret was synced
    reason: SecretSynced
    status: &quot;True&quot;
    type: Ready
</code></pre></div>
<h2 id="differences-to-csi-secret-store">Differences to csi-secret-store</h2>
<p>Please take a look at this <a href="https://github.com/external-secrets/external-secrets/issues/478#issuecomment-964413129">issue comment here</a>.</p>
<h2 id="how-do-i-debug-an-external-secret-that-doesnt-sync">How do i debug an external-secret that doesn't sync?</h2>
<p>First, check the status of the ExternalSecret resource using <code>kubectl describe</code>. That displays the status conditions as well as recent events.
You should expect a status condition with <code>Type=Ready</code>, <code>Status=True</code>. Further you shouldn't see any events with <code>Type=Warning</code>. Read carefully if they exist.</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>kubectl describe es my-external-secret
[...]
Status:
  Conditions:
    Last Transition Time:   2022-05-21T21:02:47Z
    Message:                Secret was synced
    Reason:                 SecretSynced
    Status:                 True
    Type:                   Ready
  Refresh Time:             2022-05-21T21:06:47Z

</code></pre></div>
<p>If everything looks good you should check the corresponding secret store resource that is referenced from an ExternalSecret. Again, use <code>kubectl describe</code> to show status conditions and events and look for warning signs as described above.</p>
<p>In an ideally, the store should be validated and Ready.</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>kubectl describe css kubernetes

Status:
  Conditions:
    Last Transition Time:  2022-05-21T21:02:47Z
    Message:               store validated
    Reason:                Valid
    Status:                True
    Type:                  Ready
Events:
  Type    Reason  Age                From                  Message

  Normal  Valid   52s (x4 over 10m)  cluster-secret-store  store validated
</code></pre></div>
<p>If everything looks normal so far, please go ahead and ensure that the created secret has the expected value. Also, take a look at the logs of the controller.</p>
<h2 id="upgrading-from-kes-to-eso">Upgrading from KES to ESO</h2>
<p>Migrating from KES to ESO is quite tricky! There is a tool we built to help users out available <a href="https://github.com/external-secrets/kes-to-eso">here</a>, and there is a small migration procedure.</p>
<p>There are some incompatibilities between KES to ESO, and while the tool tries to cover most of them, some of them will require manual intervention. We recommend to first convert the manifest files, and actually see if the tool provides a warning about any file needed to be changed.
Beware that the tool points the SecretStores to use KES Service Account, so you'll also need to tweak that if you plan to uninstall KES after the upgrade.</p>
