Problem Statement: I was following the article Download options for Azure AppService deployments to install Sitecore PowerShell and SXA modules on Sitecore Managed Cloud Service PaaS 2.0 instead of my local dev instance. Sitecore Version: Sitecore 10.4 XP Managed Cloud Service: PaaS 2.0 I have successfully installed both the PowerShell and SXA modules, and they appear correctly in the CM instance.  But after restarting the CM Web App, both modules disappear from the CM instance, their config file is missing from the App_Service folder, and require reinstallation to complete the setup again. Here, I have used Sitecore CM instance Development Tools -> Installation Wizard to install the modules. Solution:  To investigate this issue further, I have checked the logs generated in Application Insights to confirm the installation.

Problem Statement: As part of the cloud infrastructure monitoring activities, the Sitecore Cloud Operations team identified an event and shared an email regarding the Sitecore Cloud Alert 'SearchStax CPU Usage.' We received alerts indicating that high CPU usage was detected on all nodes of the Solr deployment. Upon further investigation, the following observations were made: High CPU usage and system load High indexing activities  Solution: A CPU Usage alert is a Threshold Alert that notifies you via email when the CPU of your SearchStax Managed Search service deployment exceeds a specified threshold for a certain number of minutes.

Problem Statement: Due to certain business requirements, we create fields read-only or hide them from the author to avoid unnecessary confusion while ensuring business logic is implemented.  In Sitecore Content Hub, we create a field property from the Content-Type option, there is no way to hide it during the creation process. Solution: There are two types of members for content types: content members and detail members . Content members represent individual pieces of content and are editable on the content detail page. Detail members represent content metadata and can be hidden from the content detail page. To meet the above requirements, you can change the member type from content to detail by moving the member to the M.Content schema page. Next, you can update the entity details component to ensure this member does not appear on the page. Happy Sitecoreing  😊
