Which service doesn't respond anymore? Are you sure that the problem isn't in the datacenter's hardware. e.g. faulty router or switch. > Will try to use mbmon.

Set the services that you use to log more than normal. That might make it easier to catch the event that causes the problems. Does it hang or does it crash? Those are different things. If the kernel panics, there's not a lot you can do remotely. Obviously it can't log it to another machine. Enable crashdumps and analyze them as the machine comes up. I'm guessing a lot here because I don't know your setup. If you want better help, provide more information.
