May 22, 20242 yr While I was out of town, I saw these entries in the syslog: May 7 22:37:30 server kernel: usb 5-2: USB disconnect, device number 2 May 7 22:37:30 server acpid: input device has been disconnected, fd 5 May 7 22:38:02 server kernel: usb 5-2: new full-speed USB device number 3 using uhci_hcd May 7 22:38:02 server kernel: input: Avocent USB Composite Device-0 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb5/5-2/5-2:1.0/0003:0624:0248.0004/input/input7 May 7 22:38:02 server kernel: hid-generic 0003:0624:0248.0004: input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.00 Keyboard [Avocent USB Composite Device-0] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-2/input0 May 7 22:38:02 server kernel: input: Avocent USB Composite Device-0 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb5/5-2/5-2:1.1/0003:0624:0248.0005/input/input8 May 7 22:38:02 server kernel: hid-generic 0003:0624:0248.0005: input,hidraw1: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [Avocent USB Composite Device-0] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-2/input1 I checked the iDRAC logs and don't see anything there. There was no VM running at the time. A handful of containers were running. Did someone access my server while I was away? flores-diagnostics-20240522-1125.zip Edited May 22, 20242 yr by nraygun added diags

I wasn't running the iDRAC Java app at the time. And running it now doesn't cause the entries in the syslog. And I had checked the iDRAC logs and didn't see anything there. Maybe iDRAC on the server lost its mind for a minute?
May 23, 20242 yr Community Expert I don't know since I never used a Dell server, but pretty sure those entries were caused by that.
