Hi,

For the last few weeks my server appears to have been crashing or rebooting intermittently and I have not been able to determine the cause.

I use the server as a DNS and Plex server so usually I notice that it has gone down when the internet stops working on my other devices or my movie playback stops, or I happen to notice that my uptime is only a few hours.

Each time the server restarts it kicks off a parity check.

I have had a look at the attached diagnostics, taken roughly 5 minutes after the most recent instance but am not really sure what I am looking for to attempt to diagnose the cause of the crashes/reboots.

I have other devices connected to the same powerboard as the server and they show months long uptime so I don't think it's a power issue.

Thank you for any light you can shine on the issue!

The syslog in the diagnostics is the RAM copy and only shows what happened since the reboot.   It could be worth enabling the syslog server to get a log that survives a reboot so we can see what happened prior to the reboot. The mirror to flash option is the easiest to set up, but if you are worried about excessive wear on the flash drive you can put your server’s address into the Remote Server field.

Thank you for this info, I'll enable the syslog server and monitor for another event and reassess then. Cheers!
