Server partial lockup, terminal/log window immediately closing itself

[derek_zoolander]

Hi all,  Hoping someone can take a look at my diagnostics and help me understand what may have gone wrong or what happened with my server.  

 

Server was functioning properly, although a bit laggy.  However, when trying to open any of the built in log viewers/consoles etc. they'd immediately crash and close.  I was able to grab a screenshot of the system log before it closed out and stumbled on this thread from reddit, which running the nginx restart command from an ssh session resolved the issue.  

 

However, I am not sure what went wrong in the first place and if there is anything going on that will cause future hangups/problems.  Appreciate any help from the pros who know more about this stuff.

Try booting in safe mode and/or closing any browser windows open to the GUI, only open when you need to interact with it then close.

oh, I've always left the GUI open in a browser... assuming thats bad?  Server uptime at the time of issue was only 5d, ive gotten into the 50s before with no issues like this.

Usually it's fine for most users, but it can cause issues for some, especially if the window is sleeping.

Thanks!

 

Inadvertently, I think i may have found a container that caused this as it was spamming the log every 1s.  Looks like it may have been a bad update.  Ill monitor and bump the thread if the issue resurfaces.
