Switching

Dear community.

Simple question:

I have an EX switch which rebooted several times by itself during the last days.

In which logfile do I find any information like

- timestamp of each reboot

- some information about the reason, error codes, watchdog, power cycle, etc.

RSI? Where?

var/log? In which file?

Anywhere else?

I did not find the right file so far.

Thanks for your help

best regards

Alex

Hi Alexander

You should be able to identify from messages file.

show log messages | match copyright (or)

 show log messages | match "The FreeBSD Project"

Copyright information would be printed during boot up of the appliance.

I still don't see the output provided the real 'reason' why or how the switch rebooted?.

I mean for example, was it rebooted by user issueing 'reboot system'  or  was the device powered off and then powered ON. Or, did the switch reboot abruptly due to SW malfuntioning for instance....

If someone can help here that would be appreciated.
