falcon-image-analyzer existingsecret throwing error

[katie-rychlicki]

I am installing the falcon image analyzer helm chart with argocd. This is what my chart looks like:

namespace: falcon-image-analyzer
repoURL: https://crowdstrike.github.io/falcon-helm
chart: falcon-image-analyzer
targetRevision: 1.1.15
values: |
  image:
    tag: imagetag
    repository: imagerepos
  deployment:
    enabled: true
  crowdstrikeConfig:
    existingSecret: falcon-secret
    clusterName: my-cluster
    cid: "00000000000000"

However, I am getting the error

time=2025-11-14T13:29:08.486Z level=ERROR msg="error: must supply a client ID in the environment"
time=2025-11-14T13:29:08.487Z level=ERROR msg="error: must supply a client secret in the environment"
time=2025-11-14T13:29:08.487Z level=ERROR msg="error getting args" error="missing critical variable values"

If I hardcode the values like this it works:

  crowdstrikeConfig:
    # clientID: "12345"
    # clientSecret: "12345"

My k8s secret is:

apiVersion: v1
data:
  CLIENT_ID: base64value
  CLIENT_SECRET: base64value
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: falcon-secret
  namespace: falcon-image-analyzer
type: Opaque

Instead of using CLIENT_ID AND CLIENT_SECRET I've also tried clientID clientSecret and FALCON_CLIENT_ID and FALCON_CLIENT_SECRET but those throw the same error.

How can I get the existingSecret to work the right way? Thank you

Hi, did you try AGENT_CLIENT_ID and AGENT_CLIENT_SECRET ? It worked for me, as explained here: #455 (comment)
