Frequently restarting cpanel-dovecot-solr

Most often, we receive frequent notifications regarding cpanel-dovecot-solr restart.

In addition, it cites a 404 error in the notification.

Cpanel::Exception::HTTP::Server/(XID xq9rhh) The response to the <abbr title="Hypertext Transfer 
Protocol">HTTP</abbr> “GET” request from 
“http://IjFtk1HeL98AMMDQ:__HIDDEN__@127.0.0.1:8984/solr/admin/info/properties” indicated an error 
(404, Not Found)

However, if we check the Solr service using systemd, it may show the service as online:

# systemctl status cpanel_dovecot_solr
● cpanel-dovecot-solr.service - Solr for cPanel Dovecot
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/cpanel-dovecot-solr.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: active (running) since Wed 2021-05-26 21:04:41 UTC; 15min ago

The issue here is an inability to connect to the service locally using cPanel service monitoring utilities.

Moving ahead, let us see how our Support Techs go about fixing this error for our customers.

As a workaround, the first thing we can do is reinstall Solr.
