Server crashed - any chance to get context info?

[KluthR]

My server just stopped working. It was still on, but no network comms, no HDMI display signal, no reaction to inserted keyboard, nothing.

 

Only way for me was to force a reset - then it started working normally. Since the logs are not stored ynwhere, is there any file on the boot drive that holds some kind of data for me to check what was going on?

Only if you had the syslog server already set up to mirror to the usb.

anyway. The new server is already here I had just no time to replace it. Now its time
