Description

statsd-exporter service is unreachable by fastpath container because the nft rules are not being updated due to missing tables; despite our ansible rules reloading docker. we could try rebooting the system and seeing if it comes up cleanly; or create the nft tables rules manually, or see if we need to restart containerd rather than docker in order for these rules to be inserted (the /etc/containder/config.yml does specify the nft firewall backend)

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Ansible rules reload and /etc/containder/config.yml, then inspect whether Docker or containerd is responsible for inserting the nft rules. Compare the reboot, manual table creation, and containerd restart possibilities. Done means the required nft tables are created and the statsd-exporter service is reachable from the fastpath container.
