# Alerting on Reload
Reloader can alert when it triggers a rolling upgrade on Deployments or StatefulSets. Webhook notification alert would be sent to the configured webhook server with all the required information
#### Enabling the feature
In-order to enable this feature, you need to update the reloader.env.secret section of values.yaml providing the information needed for alert.
<pre> ALERT_ON_RELOAD: [ true/false ] Default: false

## How Rolling upgrade works?
When reloader detects changes in configmap. It gets two objects of configmap. First object is an old configmap object which has a state before the latest change. Second object is new configmap object which contains latest changes. Reloader compares both objects and see whether any change in data occurred or not. If reloader finds any change in new configmap object, only then, it move forward with rolling upgrade.

## Compatibility with helm install and upgrade
Reloader has no impact on helm deployment cycle. Reloader only injects an environment variable in `deployment`, `daemonset` or `statefulset`. The environment variable contains the SHA1 value of configmap's or secret's data. So if a deployment is created using Helm and Reloader updates the deployment, then next time you upgrade the helm release, reloader will do nothing except changing that environment variable value in `deployment` , `daemonset` or `statefulset`.

## Similarities
- Both controllers support change detection in configmap and secrets
- Both controllers support deployment rollout

- Both controllers use SHA1 for hashing
- Both controllers have end to end as well as unit test cases.
## Differences
### Support for Daemonsets and Statefulsets.
### Support for `Daemonsets` and `Statefulsets`
#### k8s-trigger-controller:
k8s-trigger-controller only support for deployment rollout. It does not support daemonsets and statefulsets rollout.
#### `k8s-trigger-controller`
#### Reloader:
Reloader supports deployment rollout as well as daemonsets and statefulsets rollout.

#### Reloader
Reloader supports deployment `rollout` as well as `daemonsets` and `statefulsets` `rollout`.
