When an exception is thrown, uploader immediately exits relying on systemd to restart it. A better alternative would be to catch the error and continue. Two examples thus far
When RLs were moved to the farm they were still configured to uploader over HTTP. There is no internet connection so uploader exited, and notably not logging to the CSV, resulting in data loss.
The SSL certificates expired on the jlab server resulting in the following error and data loss
