hey @adiii717,

I have been getting this error, have you come across this?

a springboot app is running on PID 8

@CsBigDataHub so seems like the JVM is running against another user, or might be the PID is different.

Better to try kubectl exec -it POD_NAME -- bash
then check the user who runs the spring-boot app

ps -u $USER
or 
ps -aux
