Description

In telemetry we're seeing a bunch of instances where the indexer quits with SIGTERM. At first I thought they were manual quits, now I'm not so certain. Unfortunately, all of those come without any log output. It would be great if we had some more data from the telemetry — at least the time it was running (or a start event), maybe also memory usage? Maybe it's possible to get a backtrace from the indexer?

Research direction

Start by locating the indexer’s existing telemetry and SIGTERM handling, then inspect which lifecycle and resource data are currently emitted. Determine which signals can be collected reliably, such as runtime, start events, memory usage, or a backtrace. Done means SIGTERM exits provide additional diagnostic telemetry without losing existing behavior.
