@ASHISH932 I'm wondering if there might be a permissions issue on `/var/log/cassandra`. Can you paste the output of: ``` kubectl exec -it -c cassandra -- ls -l /var/log/ ```

@ASHISH932 I'm a little confused. You said the logs below are from Cassandra: > `WARN [nioEventLoopGroup-3-2] 2021-06-23 04:05:08,203 DefaultSession.java:107 - You have too many session instances: 28886 active, expected less...

On one of the 2 pods that are not coming up fully (`k8ssandra-cluster-flux-k8s-dc3-r2-sts-0` or `k8ssandra-cluster-flux-k8s-dc3-r3-sts-0`) can you try to see if any logs are ever created in `/var/log/cassandra`? ``` kubectl...

> @emerkle826 do you think you could build new management-api images that include [datastax/management-api-for-apache-cassandra#43](https://github.com/datastax/management-api-for-apache-cassandra/pull/43)? @jsanda @mapster Sorry I missed this, been heads down on the Management API stuff. I'm pretty...

The Management API changes should be done now as of [this PR](https://github.com/datastax/management-api-for-apache-cassandra/issues/58) being merged. All of the images should run Cassandra as the `cassandra` user for v0.1.20 and newer.

I can work on the Management API DockerHub README. I agree with your minimum.

@mikekuzak I need to revisit this and [K8SSAND-1486](https://github.com/k8ssandra/management-api-for-apache-cassandra/issues/189) (unfortunately that one fell off my radar while back). The server logs you posted are indicating the the Management API agent that...
