Detect Existing Sidecar

Let's add a signature (e.g. HEAD http://localhost:8369, something like X-Powered-By) so that Spotlight can detect an already running sidecar rather than retrying in a loop infinitely. We might still want to retry, but we can at least not log it, and probably retry at a slower interval.

Hi @dcramer,

Currently, we're terminating the process upon detecting an existing sidecar. Is this approach satisfactory? If so, we can consider the issue resolved. If not, let me know, If there are considerations or alternative perspectives regarding our current approach, as mentioned above should we retry in long intervals? without logs? or anything else?

Thanks.

Yep IMO thats fine - as long as we make it so its not cryptic to the end-user (in case they need to debug).
