      Hmm, and that last line was nothing interesting?

      The next step would be to connect the serial console to something and log the output. If anything is shown it will be there.
      If it reboots every few hours that should at least be relatively easy.

        A couple more reboots over night. The only interesting thing is snort was active at the moment:

          @DaveWh Snort on an 1100?
          I am using a few 1100s now and its very memory constrained. I wouldnt be surprised if your issues are not in some way related to memory pressure.
          If possible, can you disable Snort, reboot (to clear up memory ) then monitor?

          Firewall: NetGate,Palo Alto-VM,Juniper SRX
          Routing: Juniper, Arista, Cisco
          Switching: Juniper, Arista, Cisco
          Wireless: Unifi, Aruba IAP
          JNCIP,CCNP Enterprise

              Even if it uses all the CPU cycles it still shouldn't crash a reboot! 😕

                  Hmm, that looks like a hardware issue TBH. It's just rebooting with no output at all.

                  However that would still happen in 24.03 if it is.

                        @chudak SG-4100. Working fine. Came with 24.03 and upgraded to 24.11.
