      log.txt
      The incident occurred at about 4:07 pm, but I could not find any system-related information in the logs. Most of the errors were about interfaces and DHCP.

          You need the logs from before it rebooted. That just shows the last 500 entries and they all appear to be after that, allowing for the timezone update.

            brother, this log is a system log, containing all the content of the day. Although I can't see anything

                The txt file is copy/pasted from the logs page and it's still set to the default 500 entries which isn't enough. You can set that to display up to 2000 entries. If that's not enough you can see the full log in /var/log.
