6/10 Medium

27% of reported ingestion failures stem from agent API mismatches. Comprehensive integration testing requires container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker Swarm) with multiple plugin versions, but many teams lack resources for this. 21% higher incident rates occur post-major infrastructure shifts without dedicated integration audits, requiring cross-functional response teams and continuous validation.
