Objective


  • The device reboots without any manual intervention.
  • Reboot reason shows as "unknown" in the logs and alerts.


Environment


  • Prisma SD-WAN
  • ION devices 
  • Power Supply


Procedure


  1. Login to the SDWAN Portal.
  2. Under the "Events" tab, check for the alert "DEVICE REBOOT".
  3. The reboots are logged in the events log.
  4. Run the CLI command "debug logs dump event | grep "reboot". This will give the reason for reboot.

  1. The voltage and temperature can be checked using "dump sensor type=temperature type=voltage" Verify if any abnormal surge is seen.

  2. The above procedure/commands help to identify if the reboot is due to power fluctuation or mistakenly disturbed the power socket.


Additional Information


Using backup power such as dual power supply options will help avoid such issues.
