Server randomly shuts down and contains unusual characters in the kern.log and syslog - "^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^"

Unix & Linux Asked by Krasimir Iliev Velichkov on October 31, 2021

I am getting random server shutdowns and logs containing unusual values with ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@.

This might be related to kernel panic but I don’t know or just can’t debug it.

Currently, I don’t know how to debug this or what to search for as it seems like that the server just freezes.
