Status Conditions

Every ORC resource reports its state through two conditions: Available and Progressing. This page is a reference for all possible condition states and reasons.

Conditions

Condition	Status	Meaning
`Available`	`True`	Resource is ready for use
`Available`	`False`	Resource is not ready (check `message` for details)
`Progressing`	`True`	ORC is still working on the resource
`Progressing`	`False`	ORC has finished (either success or terminal error)

A resource is healthy when Available=True and Progressing=False.

Condition Reasons

The reason field categorizes what is happening:

Reason	Progressing	Available	Description	Action
`Success`	`False`	`True`	Resource is reconciled successfully	None needed
`Progressing`	`True`	`False`	Normal operation in progress (creation, update, waiting for dependency)	Wait for completion
`TransientError`	`True`	`False`	Temporary error, will retry automatically	Check if it persists; see Troubleshooting
`InvalidConfiguration`	`False`	`False`	Spec has invalid values; terminal error	Fix the resource spec
`UnrecoverableError`	`False`	`False`	Permanent error, won't retry; terminal error	Fix the underlying issue and see Troubleshooting

Reading conditions

# Quick overview: the AVAILABLE and PROGRESSING columns come from conditions
kubectl get openstack

# Full conditions for a specific resource
kubectl get network my-network -o jsonpath='{.status.conditions}' | jq

# Detailed output including status.resource
kubectl get network my-network -o yaml

Terminal errors

When Progressing=False and Available=False, the resource is in a terminal error state. ORC will not retry until the spec is changed. Common causes:

InvalidConfiguration: The spec references something that doesn't exist or contains invalid values. Fix the spec.
UnrecoverableError: An operation failed permanently (e.g. an imported resource was deleted from OpenStack, or a filter matched multiple results). See Troubleshooting for resolution steps.

The `status.resource` field

In addition to conditions, every ORC resource has a .status.resource field containing the observed state from OpenStack. This includes fields that OpenStack assigns, such as projectID, createdAt, and revisionNumber, that are not part of the spec.

The `status.lastSyncTime` field

Records when ORC last successfully read the resource state from OpenStack. See How to Enable Drift Detection for details on periodic resync.
