Hi everyone

My proxmox server is crashing daily. And I’ve been checking the logs. But the thing is. What do I look for? Syslog, kern and daemonlogs. I would like to fix this problem. Need advice ! Thanks

    On Linux systems running systems I usually use the journalctl tool to look at messages. Ex.

    journalctl --list-boots journalctl --since=“2012-10-30 18:17:16”

    Looking for anything obvious.

      I’m -to be honest- quite the noob. What is obvious?

        Anything looking like this: http://i.stack.imgur.com/RMcUY.jpg

        Anything saying “error” or “fatal” in the kernel log.

        It’s quite likely that you will not find anything because the machine reboots before it can write to disk. In that case, I’d start with memtest86.

        Protip: view the logs in vim, it highlights errors in red.
