      Sorry, running out the door for a client. I'll grab the logs and post the contents this weekend.

      I am running certbot for Let's Encrypt.

        @NashBrydges Since nginx is running, this should return ok, but you might want to try a nginx -t

          Is it up to date?

              Here is the only entry in the NGINX error log for the last time NGINX stopped.

              2021/01/08 22:34:03 [error] 847#847: *195 access forbidden by rule, client: 195.154.63.222, server: plextrack.jpslconsulting.ca, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", host: "plextrack.jpslconsulting.ca"
              

              The Let's Encrypt log shows no activity immediately before the outage.

              Syslog also shows no errors. It has entries from 3AM to 3:155AM and 9:59PM to 10:02PM on the day of the last incident however the outage occurred between 7:06PM and 10:00PM so the only related entries in this log are at the time the outage was discovered and Ubuntu restarted.

                I also ran the NGINX test and all looks good.

                    @black3dynamite I'm not seeing any evidence of this failing in the letsencrypt.log file syslog or nginx logs (both access and error). Would those logs be elsewhere? Obviously I don't want to have to manually renew certs.

                      @NashBrydges letsencrypt.log is the only one I'm aware of. Actually are using systemd to renew your certs or cronjob?

                              @scottalanmiller Well at this point I'm looking at any log that has "error" in the name. Lol

                                This should show you what there is for Nginx itself....

                                grep nginx /var/log/messages

                                      Which is useful for in a case I've seen where the service was started by other means, and showed all addresses were already in use.

                                          Just another way to see the same thing.

                                            @scottalanmiller Yeah, those log messages are in the syslog file in Ubuntu. The only log entries in syslog are related to when I rebooted the server. GREP output is too large for those related nginx entries in the log for me to post here but just reviewed every line and no errors that I could find.
