Matching the timestamps revealed the switch was failing and taking connected systems offline, pointing to a hardware fault.
Replacing the faulty switch stopped the recurring server outages.
The case shows how timestamped monitoring alerts can surface cross-machine outage patterns faster than manual troubleshooting.
