 Description   

One player on our server is repeatedly having their Enderchest items vanish completely.  This has been verified to be the truth.  It happens fairly consistently, usually they'll place items in, log out, then next time they log in the items will be gone.  I've checked their playerdata file and the enderitems field is completely blank in NBTExplorer.  It's only happening to this one player, though on a few occasions people (including myself) have had their enderchests swapped with other peoples' enderchests.

We're not running any plugins that interact with enderchests.  Our plugin list is as follows: ChatEx, PermissionsEx, CoreProtect, InvRestore2, Essentials, DiscordSRV, and Holgraphic Displays.

Where can I find info on how to find whatever information I need, like event logs and such?  I'm a fairly inexperienced server owner since I inherited this server sorta out of the blue when our original owner left about a year ago.  I'm guessing the first step would be to switch the debug setting to true on Spigot, but beyond that, any guides that might be of help?

Right, the point is how am I supposed to debug "ender chest items randomly disappear"
Do I just play on my server for 2 years until my ender chest disappears?
I'll do the legwork of fixing the bug (assuming it exists), but you need to do the legwork of giving me enough info to do so.

And as for reproduction, I just don't know.  It's only happening with this one player and I don't have half a clue why.  She's not lying, been one of our most trusted players for years, but nobody knows why it's happening.  They're there and then they're gone.  She's AFK now but next time she's on I'll uninstall all the plugins and have her log on/off and all.

We ran InvRestore2 all last season without any issue of this type, and InvRestore2 doesn't log Enderchest items.  Only started happening after we updated to Spigot 1.13.  We wiped all playerdata when we transitioned.  I'll get rid of InvRestore2 and come back in a day or so when the player's Enderchest gets deleted again if you want.

Need a reliable reproduction without plugins.

Plugins can meddle in non obvious ways. InvRestore2 sounds suspicious when dealing with inventory bugs.
