My Promox server shutdown cleanly, without me asking

I don't understand why my Promox server shutdown. In the logs I see the 'replication runner' over and over, until then I see things are shutting down cleanly.

Thing is, I don't understand what triggered that?

103 is a Windows VM.

I see some UPS messages, but UPS didn't lose power, and the messages seem to tell me the UPS processes are reacting to the shutdown, not asking for it?

Code:
May 27 12:58:00 pve systemd[1]: Started Proxmox VE replication runner.
May 27 12:59:00 pve systemd[1]: Starting Proxmox VE replication runner...
May 27 12:59:00 pve systemd[1]: pvesr.service: Succeeded.

hi,

* is it a cluster or standalone machine? if HA is configured that can cause reboot because of the watchdog

I see some UPS messages, but UPS didn't lose power, and the messages seem to tell me the UPS processes are reacting to the shutdown, not asking for it?
yes it looks like the process is getting terminated because of the shutdown.

are you the sole owner of the server? maybe someone just ran shutdown command or pressed the power button. does this happen regularly?

Thanks for response.

It's only standalone. If it were part of a cluster though, would there be some indication in the logs that was the cause?

Yes - I'm the sole owner, and it's a machine on my desktop. The power button is located such that's it's not easy to accidentally press.

Forunately, this has only happened once - but was obviously curious why.

yes if HA watchdog kills the server you would see watchdog entries in the log

okay just making sure :)

if you post the log here we can take a detailed look, but it's hard to tell anything without knowing more about the setup
