What do the logs say?

For those not familiar with Digital Ocean, they are UNIX only. So this means that ScreenConnect is on Linux and not on Windows.
CentOS7 in fact - @scottalanmiller Favorite

Windows Admin, not a linux guy. How do I check the logs?

Crap, can someone move this....

Linux isn't an OS so we'd need to know which OS to know where the logs are. Each OS based on Linux is unique. Oh, it's CentOS 7, I see that now.

Moved.

CentOS logs are in /var/logs/messages
At least most logs are. /var/logs is the logging directory. Nearly everything goes into the "messages" catch all. But there are specific logs too for NginX, Apache (HTTPD), ScreenConnect, etc.

Do you know what time the SC app stopped working?

Oh boy, that's a big window for log scouring. I assume that there was no reboot during that time? Do you have sar collecting data? That might help to pinpoint when things changed.

When I was running Screen Connect on Linux it would fail on occasion like this and I would just download the Tar file and reinstall over the top and it would usually get it going again.

Yes, please do! Also, do you recommend windows instead of linux? If so, Why?

Keep in mind he's a full time Windows engineer that doesn't use Linux.
