I am at a new job, and one thing I have been asked to do, is come up with a list of "best practices". This list of "best practices" would contain items that could either be monitored by software (not necessarily which software, but just in general) or could be manually checked. Our system's usually consist of an Mircosoft SQL 2005 database, a few custom written services, and some client software (all can be on the same or 3 different computers) running on Windows Server 2003.
Our standard list right now consists of basic's, such as.
Critical Updates
Service Packs
Event Viewer / Log monitoring
Checking to make sure it backed up.
I've added things such as looking at the database files integrity wise, things with the disk drive, etc.
So my question is; for those of you who work in a computer field, and are assigned the duties of monitoring a server or system, what is it you look for or do?
