HomelabFluxHelmReleaseTestFail

Test alert

Fires for observability/alert-test-fail only. Remove alert-test/ and this runbook when validation is done.

Field	Value
Alert	HomelabFluxHelmReleaseTestFail
Purpose	Verify Prometheus → Alertmanager → ntfy pipeline (2m for)

Expected behavior

HelmRelease uses a nonexistent chart (alert-test-nonexistent-chart). Not Ready is expected.

Clean up

1. Delete observability/alert-test/
2. Remove homelab-flux-test.yaml from prometheus-rules kustomization
3. Delete this runbook and remove the index row in mk_runbook_index.md

Escalation / close-out

• Alert resolved in Alertmanager (or silenced with a documented reason and expiry).
• Root cause noted (link PR/commit if GitOps change).
• Update this runbook or the app mk_runbook.md if you learned something new.

If the issue is upstream (TrueCharts chart bug, Flux bug), capture logs and open an issue; avoid permanent silences without a ticket.
