- **Cleaning Up Disconnected Clusters**: Regularly remove clusters that will no longer reconnect to Rancher (e.g., clusters that have been decommissioned or destroyed). Keeping such clusters in the Rancher management system consumes unnecessary resources, which could impact Rancher's performance over time.
- **Certificate Rotation Considerations**: When designing processes that involve regularly shutting down clusters, whether connected to Rancher or not, take into account certificate rotation policies. For example, RKE/RKE2/K3s clusters may rotate certificates on startup if they exceeded their lifetime.

### Kubernetes Components
_ClusterFlows_ have the ability to collect logs from all containers on all hosts in the Kubernetes cluster. This works well in cases where those containers are part of a Kubernetes pod; however, RKE containers exist outside of the scope of Kubernetes.
Currently the logs from RKE containers are collected, but are not able to easily be filtered. This is because those logs do not contain information as to the source container (e.g. `etcd` or `kube-apiserver`).
_ClusterFlows_ have the ability to collect logs from all containers on all hosts in the Kubernetes cluster. This works well in cases where those containers are part of a Kubernetes pod.
A future release of Rancher will include the source container name which will enable filtering of these component logs. Once that change is made, you will be able to customize a _ClusterFlow_ to retrieve **only** the Kubernetes component logs, and direct them to an appropriate output.
