event:{"_ts":"2021-04-14T14:42:23.433Z","_level":"info","_pid":1592,"_msgid":"reboot","_prog":"evd","_fac":"event","_thread":"main","value":"{\"info\":{\"reason\":\"unknown\",\"detail\":\"\"},\"ident\":\"system\",\"level\":\"critical\",\"timestamp\":\"2021-04-14T14:42:23.379Z\",\"code\":\"DEVICESW_SYSTEM_BOOT\",\"type\":\"alert\",\"site_id\":\"16085738821740117\"}"}
- The voltage and temperature can be checked using "dump sensor type=temperature type=voltage" Verify if any abnormal surge is seen.
