The elastic operator pod stops and comes up again every 3-4 min. Just before it stops I see this in the logs

```auto
{"log.level":"info","@timestamp":"2022-09-28T09:52:42.062Z","log.logger":"manager","message":"Shutting down due to signal","service.version":"2.4.0+96282ca9","service.type":"eck","ecs.version":"1.4.0"}

```

There are no other errors, debug logging only show the periodic checks to the ES \_health endpoint.

It seems that something is triggering this LOC, but I don't know what or why: [cloud-on-k8s/main.go at main · elastic/cloud-on-k8s · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/blob/main/cmd/manager/main.go#L375)

Could you use the `kubectl describe` command on the Pod please?

```auto
kubectl describe pod elastic-operator-0 -n elastic-system

```
