# External Secrets troubleshooting

Find out why External Secrets Operator (ESO) does not create or update a Secret, and
propose a fix. **Read first, ask before changing.** Run the investigation commands
freely. Run a command under an "Ask first" line only after the user approves that exact
command; if your credentials do not allow it, give it to the user to run. Never run a
"Proposed fix"; hand it to the user.

An **ExternalSecret** says which keys to fetch from an external store and which
Kubernetes Secret to write (`spec.target`). It uses a **SecretStore** (one namespace) or
**ClusterSecretStore** (any allowed namespace) that holds the provider configuration (a
cloud secret manager, Vault, and others). The ESO controller syncs on
`spec.refreshInterval` and reports the result on the ExternalSecret's `Ready` condition.
