Hi, I have an Ignition 8.3.3 running in a container, but it is restarting itself a couple of times every day. In the logs I have not seen any errors: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/d/0dca737d3657ac63e61fa6fdcf1a033c3ca9d083.png) However, sometimes there are logs about a clock drift detection, but just those warnings, no errors. Is there a way to debug the issue, or is it possible to avoid that automatic restart of the container, or are there any other ideas about that behavior? Best regards, Daniel Fernandez ---

That usually indicated that Ignition crashed. Commonly due to memory constraints, but there are many possibilities. The text stream that would be the `wrapper.log` in a VM or bare metal install is instead forwarded to the Docker host. There will be clues there.
