I’ve been having this issue very sporadically (sometimes a couple times a week, sometimes once a month). I’m curious as to how the more veteran folk here would try and narrow down the cause of this issue.

I can provide more info if needed!

Edit: More Info:

  • Using a static IP (no DHCP) through Netplan.

        if ping fails with the name but works with 8.8.8.8 then you’re losing DNS. set the nameservers locally on the server if you’re using a static IP.

            it should - I think (I am not familiar with netplan) - but from what I can tell it it’s a utility that simplifies the local config tasks, when you apply it, I think it should be putting the nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf - but before you go down this rabbit hole, check whether 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 respond to a ping when pings to named servers don’t - if so, it’s definitely name resolution (which would be my first guess).
