For this reason, persistence is one of an attacker's first objectives...but it can also be their Achilles' heel.

Solr-diagnostics: How to use it and what it collects
If you’re running Solr and have to troubleshoot it (or maybe you just want a good overview!), then you’d probably want to collect logs, configs, maybe a snapshot of metrics and some system data, like top or netstat.

Because each container typically runs a single process, has its own environment, utilizes virtual networks, or has various methods of managing storage. Traditional monitoring solutions take metrics from each server and the applications they run. These servers and applications running on them are typically very static, with very long uptimes.
Docker Containers Management: Main Challenges & How to Overcome Them
Even though containers have been around for ages, it wasn’t until Docker showed up that containers really became widely adopted. Docker has made it easier, faster, and cheaper to deploy containerized applications. However, organizations that adopt container orchestration tools for application deployment face new maintenance challenges.
How Cortex Is Evolving to Ingest 1 Trillion Samples a Day
