What to check first
- Read the current status, readiness and restart count together.
- Confirm image, namespace, node placement and owning workload.
- Review recent activity rather than reacting to a single historical event.
Operator actionIf restarts are stable and readiness is good, treat warning events cautiously. If restarts are rising or readiness drops, move immediately to the owning workload and recent events.
