open-source tools to monitor JSON logs for unexpected patterns?
Convert your logs to metrics with mtail.

Should You Be Scared of Unix Signals?
> Libc is a lot more tricky about signals, since not all libc functions can be safely called from handlers.
And this is a huge thing. People do all kinds of operations in signal handlers completely oblivious to the pitfalls. Pitfalls which often do not manifest, making it a great "it works for me" territory.
I once raised a ticket on fluentbit[1] about it but they have abused signal handlers so thoroughly that I do not think they can mitigate the issue without a major rewriting of the signal and crash handling.
