Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • NetObserv is now installed automatically through the Operator Lifecycle Manager.
    • Supports multiple OLM installation versions with improved installation progress and completion reporting.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Added a 20-minute installation timeout with clear timeout status reporting.
    • Improved handling and reporting of failed or in-progress installations.
    • Simplified FlowCollector setup during installation.
    • Updated the default Loki destination for network observability data.

Walkthrough

The NetObserv operator installation now uses OLM resources instead of manual installer resources. The controller handles OLMv0 CSV states, enforces a 20-minute timeout, applies the FlowCollector manifest directly, and includes expanded OLMv0 tests.

6-10: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Set spec.targetNamespaces explicitly on the OperatorGroup.

The OperatorGroup has no spec. OLM treats that as an AllNamespaces install mode. If the intent is AllNamespaces, state it with an empty spec.targetNamespaces: [""]-equivalent global group so the scope is explicit and does not change with OLM defaults. If the intent is OwnNamespace, add spec.targetNamespaces: [netobserv-operator]. The FlowCollector is a cluster-scoped workload that watches all namespaces, so AllNamespaces is the likely target; make it explicit.

Add a negative case for a non-matching CSV name.

createTestCSV now accepts any name, and every call site passes the network-observability-operator prefix. No test asserts what happens when the CSV uses a different prefix, such as the upstream netobserv-operator name. The prefix match in checkOLMv0Installation is the single point of failure for OLM v0 detection, and a mismatch between the subscribed package and the expected prefix would pass this suite unnoticed.

Add a case with a CSV named netobserv-operator.v1.12.1 in Succeeded phase and assert that isNetObservOperatorInstalled does not report the operator as installed. That documents the contract and fails loudly if the manifest package and the controller prefix drift apart.

Cover hasInstallTimedOut with unit tests.

These new tests cover the CSV phase handling well. The other new behavior in this cohort, the 20-minute installation timeout, has no test. hasInstallTimedOut contains three distinct branches: no condition, a DeploymentTimedOut reason that is terminal, and a LastTransitionTime older than installTimeout. The terminal branch permanently stops reconciliation, so a regression there is silent.

Add cases that build a Network CR with the NetworkObservabilityDeployed condition and assert each branch. Use an explicit LastTransitionTime in the fixture rather than waiting, so the test stays fast.

Correct the log message and note the repeated manifest apply.

Line 131 states that only an OLM v0 Subscription was applied. installNetObservOperator applies the whole bindata/observability/07-observability-operator.yaml manifest, which now also contains the Namespace, OperatorGroup, and CatalogSource. Adjust the message so operators can match logs to the applied resources.

For OLM v0, ceExists stays false for the whole installation, so this branch re-applies the entire manifest on every requeue. Server-side apply makes that idempotent, but it also re-patches the CatalogSource repeatedly. Consider applying once and then only polling status.

Do not ship the development CatalogSource in bindata/.

This CatalogSource installs the operator from quay.io/netobserv/network-observability-operator-catalog:v0.0.0-sha-4cfb3f87. Three problems block release:

  • The image is not part of the OpenShift release payload, so it is not mirrored for disconnected or restricted-network clusters. The Subscription never resolves there.
  • The tag references an unreleased developer build, so clusters get content that is not lifecycle-managed or supported.
  • registryPoll with interval: 1m polls an external registry from every cluster once per minute for the lifetime of the cluster.

The PR title marks this as "Do not Merge", so the intent looks like local testing. Before merge, revert to the in-cluster redhat-operators catalog and drop this CatalogSource.

Also replace publisher: Me with a real publisher value if any CatalogSource remains.

Add e2e coverage and a Testing section for the new timeout behavior.

This change alters user-facing behavior. It switches installation to OLM v0 and adds a terminal 20-minute timeout that surfaces as a DeploymentTimedOut condition on the Network operator CR. The PR contains no test/e2e/ changes and no Testing or How to verify it section.

Add or modify a test under test/e2e/ that covers OLM v0 installation, and describe the CI lanes, platform coverage, and results in the PR description.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔴 Critical | 🏗️ Heavy lift

DeploymentTimedOut is permanent and stops all future reconciliation.

hasInstallTimedOut returns true whenever the condition reason is DeploymentTimedOut (Line 215), and nothing in this controller ever clears that reason. Reconcile calls hasInstallTimedOut at Line 108, before isNetObservOperatorInstalled, and returns without requeueing. Two failure modes follow:

  • After the operator finishes installing late, the controller still returns early. The FlowCollector is never created. Network Observability stays broken until an admin edits the Network status by hand or the operator pod is not enough — the reason persists in the CR.
  • The 20-minute window is measured from any ConditionFalse transition, including a post-install DeploymentFailed set at Line 157. A transient API failure after a successful deployment therefore leads to a permanent give-up, not a retry.

Scope the timeout to the installation phase and clear it when the state becomes healthy. Also log the Get failure at Line 207 instead of discarding it, so a silent API error is visible.

🔧 Suggested fix: scope and clear the timeout
 func (r *ReconcileObservability) hasInstallTimedOut(ctx context.Context) bool {
 	network := &operatorv1.Network{}
 	if err := r.client.Get(ctx, types.NamespacedName{Name: NetworkCRName}, network); err != nil {
+		klog.V(4).Infof("Failed to get operator Network CR while checking install timeout: %v", err)
 		return false
 	}
 
 	condition := operatorv1helpers.FindOperatorCondition(network.Status.Conditions, NetworkObservabilityDeployed)

 		return false
 	}

-		return true
-	}
-
-	return time.Since(condition.LastTransitionTime.Time) > installTimeout
+	// Only the installation phase is subject to the timeout. A post-install
+	// failure must keep retrying.

Use the manifest namespace for CSV detection.

The Subscription uses openshift-netobserv-operator, but OperatorNamespace remains netobserv-operator. checkOLMv0Installation therefore misses the installed CSV and cannot complete installation. Update the constant and related tests.
