      I’m afraid there’s no report at least with a correct timestamp

        Hmm, well it may have been unable to create one. Or there may not have been a full report. The system logs should show some errors at that time though. Anything beyond that php-fpm.socket logs? That looks like php stopped for some reason.

          @stephenw10 i pulled the logs from July 15. Incident started around 5:40am ET

          Just looking at the logs for whatever reason the WAN interface got a private WAN address. tshoot.txt

          The file is uploaded in this post.

          The logs are flooded with the check reload status script. Not sure what it does but I've had numerous problems with it in the past.

            For a reason yet to be determined, PHP stopped.

            This :

            Rebooting WLAN AP brings back Internet

            will take down the (a) LAN interface, and when it comes back, this will trigger the restart of many processes, and among them, PHP.

            No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
            Edit : and where are the logs ??

              Hmm, all of that is probably because php has stopped. Is there an initial log showing why php might have stopped?

                @stephenw10 Been scanning the log files of the 15th and i don't see anything sticking out at all.
                Based on what @Gertjan it makes sense why connectivity was restored - LAN interface went down and most processes restarted. However as a troubleshooting step i did log into the firewall and restart PHP and that had no effect.

                Curious @stephenw10 Why does a port bounce trigger so many processes restarts? Assuming no 3rd party packages.

                  Because anything listening on that interface will be restarted and that includes a lot of things (DHCP, DNS etc). Even more things because some of those processes will restart other processes.

                    @stephenw10 interesting. Is this architecturally done on purpose?

                      Yes, many things must be restarted if they are listening directly on an interface that goes down. Otherwise they just throw errors and stop listening on any other interface.
