How to understand why the server becomes unavailable?

There is a dedicated server on hetzner, CentOS 6.6, Nginx and other standard web set.
From time to time, for no apparent reason, the server stops showing signs of life - all incoming requests on all available ports (80,443,22) go into a timeout, similar to the case of incorrectly configured iptables.
Nothing suspicious is observed in all kinds of logs - they simply break off. After rebooting from the hoster panel, everything is fine, until the next time. The problem has been repeating for almost a year approximately every 20-40 days, no systemicity has been noticed. The rest of the server does not cause any complaints.
I contacted technical support - I was refused with the wording "everything is ok with the hardware, look for a problem in your system."
Everything is ok with the system too, since a couple of months ago I reinstalled the system from scratch (for other reasons), the problem did not disappear.
How to determine what is causing this behavior?

what's in the logs, the system doesn't crash into a kernel panic, can it be accessed from the control panel or is it a system restart like when a button is pressed?

As an option, some module falls off. In general, turn on stronger information content in the logs (maybe even debug), after reboot, look at them (syslog, dmesg)

There was a similar situation with the server.
Kernel update helped.

How do CPU and memory graphs behave? What software is on the server?
