We have a FreeBSD 10 server that keeps crashing every night. I have 
dumpdev set to AUTO in rc.conf, but I get nothing in the /var/crash 
folder, I don't have dumpdir defined. The messages log just cuts off 
with no evidence of kernel panic. Perhaps it is a memory or power issue, 
how can I monitor for the cause?
