Hi @Jason_Tong

There's really no reason to reboot after a certain amount of time

If nothing's broken, don't fix it

One one side I fully agree with @reaper , but on the other side we are talking about a security device and an uptime of 300 days also means 300 days without OS updates or fixes for vulnerabilities ...

From that perspective you are indeed completely right @Remo

You should indeed keep track of security updates regarding your current code train and update+reboot when one is required to ensure your device is safe 🙂
