(in the case the formatting is inconsistent, those up
arrows are intended to be under the "power on" words)

This means there was a power failure/restart on/about
Sunday at about 22:25(*) (which are UTC times), and
the logs do not survive a reset(**) so there is no
information about what happened before that.  So you
had one (or more) power issues being reported.

Is your HDHR on the UPS you talked about?  If not,
disruptions of content will occur.

(*) The time gets updated from the cable times
that are sent on the OOB channel.  It may take
a few seconds to get the current time from the
cable plant, but usually it gets the time reasonably
quickly.

(**) I once had a RFE request to SD to accept
log-servers from the DHCP response for more
persistent logging to a syslog server, but they
never implemented it (perhaps it is on a wish
list somewhere in their extremely long TODO
list, but who knows).
