Server Crash for unknown sources

Support
1

From time to time Nethserver hangs up completely, approx. avery 2 Wo weeks (however no other obious time dependancy), mostly at night.

  • Nethserver in my case is viruallized on Proxmox, other servers are still available.
  • I do not see any link to regular jobs such as backups
  • Server really freezes - no connection via Webinterface or SSH is possible
  • Proxmox VNC Console is frozen, too
  • major log files seem to stop at a certain time

Any Ideas / tips which logs I should look at?
TIA

Would you please share the VM configuration and the hardware of your host?

Which kernel version?
Which nethserver version?

Did you look at the proxmox logs too? I think your problem is there. I had an behaviour like this in the past with libvirt. It has run out of memory.

Sorry for late replay - X-Mas is comming and customers want me to close projects before new year … so I was bussy at work …

Here is my proxmox config file @ /etc/pve/qemu-server
agent: 1
balloon: 0
boot: cd
bootdisk: scsi0
cores: 4
cpu: kvm64
hotplug: disk,network,usb
ide2: none,media=cdrom
keyboard: de
memory: 8192
name: nths-01
net0: virtio=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:a1,bridge=vmbr0
numa: 0
onboot: 1
ostype: l26
scsi0: local-zfs:vm-100-disk-1,size=1T
scsihw: virtio-scsi-pci
smbios1: uuid=af37c120-4234-48bb-aab0-f52e8bdf88c5
sockets: 2
startup: order=1,up=120
tablet: 0
usb0: host=3-2
usb1: host=4-4,usb3=1
vga: qxl

Don’t look at the memory size - I tried different size settings ranging vom 4 to 16 GB. Most important to me is … at which log-files, either proxmox or nethserver, should I look at all?

Nethserver was 7.5 is now 7.6, kernal 3.10.0-957.1.3.el7.x86_64, but no crash on that system so far since 7 days.
Proxmox is 5.3-5 community edition, kernal 4.15.18-9-pve.

TIA
