Getting random shutdown's on my Proxmox stack, I can't put it down to anything specifically as yet. Is there some way I can check what initiated the shutdown as I can see it was a sudden shutdown but an initiated one

doesnt appear to be load related but I have a suspicion it could be due to reaching a high temp but have no way to tell

Check log around that time with:
Code:
journalctl --since "2025-02-21 00:47:00" --until "2025-02-21 00:52:00"

What was happening inside that container and VM in that time?
 
journalctl --since "2025-02-21 00:47:00" --until "2025-02-21 00:52:00"
He sorry for the delay I was unable to find time to run the command but I have now run the command above but tweaked to the time stamp, how am i best to share this, I will try upload as much as I can here but if its not easy to review please let me know the alternative.

Pretty weird it shows as the power button being pressed...when it wasnt :oops:

Most likely this is hardware related, as the PC believes the power/button has been pressed. You could try checking the physical button/s, & all cables that connect it to the motherboard. Static buildup could also cause this, (dry environment in server area?). Unstable power supply?

I also notice that it appears you have a nut-(server/client ?) connected. Not sure how you have set that up, but possibly that is triggering the shutdown? Unreliable power supply?
