Today we have had a number of instances where the gateway appear to have restarted itself, preceded by ClockDriftDetector and Timeout warnings. My first thought was to look at garbage collection due to things I had read in the past but I understand that Ignition now uses the recommended G1C1 garbage collector by default. We are investigating further b… ---

Confirmed. We work together and posted independently (not realizing the other had posted).
