it is physical system .
We are not sure about the interval as it happened early morning .. once we noted that application and DB are off we powered the server manually and accordingly the app/DB..
we want to know if the power off was by a human mistake or power issue as this the only server had this issue

You have to search
ls -l /var/log/messages*
It will have the date the file was last updated, so you need to look within the file dated after the event you are looking for.

Look to see whether there was a logged in session when the system powered off.
Is this a physical or virtual system?
If it is virtual, make sure the issue is not a result of host automatic backup that shuts down the VM before the backup, but forgets to turn the VM back on.
What is the interval that this happens?
