I have a server that has been fairly stable (one other problem in the last 2 months, but I know what caused it) last Friday around 1 PM the server became unavailable but no alarms were sent by any of my monitoring tools until 7 pm. As a result the server was inoperable all weekend until I came in on Monday and hard booted the server. The application and security logs were corrupt and the system log only showed that the previous system shutdown was unexpected, no events leading up to that. I am using BMC Patrol to help monitor system performance but I have historically only used it to track performance never troubleshoot issues. Does anyone where I could start to look to find out what caused that issue. Normally I find enough in the event logs to point me in the right direction, nothing there this time. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
