Why is my server reboot
I'm trying to investigate why the server rebooted automatically. First thing I check is the last command. I notice the logs below.
Code:
reboot system boot 3.10.0-514.26.2. Fri Aug 25 08:49 - 13:46 (2+04:56) |

All that shows is the system boot...there are most certainly OTHER entries there that can tell you more. Since you tell us nothing about what you've looked at, we can't help. |

Sorry for the incomplete details. OS is CentOS Linux release 7.3.
Nothing found in the /var/log/messages prior on the reboot. Code:
Aug 25 00:40:02 test systemd: Removed slice user-0.slice. |
Maybe a hardware problem?
Is it a server hardware? Then there might be a HW fault log in the server management console (ILO board or similar). |
Mystery reboots are often caused by hardware problems.
Reboots occurring at exactly the same time can be induced by a cron job. The running process can either cause a higher processor load (thermal stresses) or uses a part of the physical memory not normally used. It can takes days if not weeks before the hardware finally fails to a greater extent making it easier to diagnose. If it occurs at the same time and therefor one of the cron jobs is suspected, the job can be run manually to if that triggers the reboot. Unfortunately it still doesn't tell if the process is responsible for the reboot or the hardware. However, reboot without any message from the running process is an indication for a hardware failure. The only way to know for sure is to migrate to new hardware. jlinkels |
could you show us a cron job?
