Basic support and checking can frequently keep a server disappointment from transforming into a server debacle. For instance, I've had individuals bring in a frenzy that there server has smashed. We start to research to find that their RAID bombed a year ago, their reinforcements halted three months prior and their circle arrived at 100% limit, adulterating their database.
1. Confirm your reinforcements are working.
Prior to rolling out any improvements to your creation framework, be certain that your reinforcements are working. You may even need to run some test recuperations on the off chance that you will erase basic information. While concentrated on reinforcements, you might need to ensure you have chosen the correct reinforcement area.
2. Check circle utilization.
Try not to utilize your creation framework as a recorded framework. Erase old logs, messages, and programming forms never again utilized. Keeping your framework free of old programming limits security issues. A littler information impression implies quicker recuperation. On the off chance that your utilization is surpassing 90% of plate limit, either lessen use or include more stockpiling. In the event that your parcel arrives at 100%, your server may quit reacting, database tables can degenerate and information might be lost.
3. Screen RAID Alarms.
All generation servers should utilize RAID. All the more critically, you ought to screen your RAID status. In our decade in addition to in business, we have taken a shot at incalculable frameworks where the RAID fizzled. Therefore, a solitary plate disappointment caused a total framework disappointment. At rackAID, we either use suppliers that screen our RAID for us or we have arrangement direct RAID observing. Generally I gauge that RAID bombs in about 1% of servers every year. One percent may appear to be little, yet a total server disappointment can move a straightforward drive substitution toward a multi-hour catastrophe recuperation situation.
4. Update Your OS.
Updates for Linux frameworks are discharge habitually. Remaining over these updates can be testing. This is the reason we utilize robotized fix the board devices and have observing set up to alarm us when a framework is outdated. On the off chance that you are refreshing your server physically (or not in the least), you may miss significant security refreshes. Programmers frequently filter for weakly frameworks inside hours of an issue being unveiled. So quick reaction is critical. On the off chance that you can't robotize your updates, at that point make a timetable to refresh your framework. I suggest week after week at any rate for current adaptations and maybe month to month for more seasoned OS renditions. I would likewise screen discharge sees from your appropriation so you know about any significant security dangers and can react rapidly.
5. Update your Control Panel.
On the off chance that you are utilizing a facilitating or server control board, make certain to refresh it too. Here and there this implies refreshing the control board itself, yet in addition programming it controls. For instance, with WHM/cPanel, you should physically refresh PHP adaptations to fix known issues. Essentially refreshing the control board doesn't likewise refresh the hidden Apache and PHP renditions utilized by your OS.
6. Check application refreshes.
Web applications represent over 95% of all security ruptures we research. Make certain to refresh your web applications, particularly well known projects like WordPress.
7. Check remote administration devices.
On the off chance that your server is co-found or with a devoted server supplier, you will need to watch that your remote administration instruments work. Remote support, remote reboot and salvage mode are what I call the 3 basic devices for remote server the board. You need to realize that these will work when you need them.
8. Check for equipment mistakes.
You might need to audit the logs for any indications of equipment issues. Overheating sees, circle read mistakes, arrange disappointments could be early markers of potential equipment disappointment. These are uncommon yet worth a look, particularly if the framework includes not been working inside typical extents.
9. Check server usage.
Audit your server's plate, CPU, RAM and system use. In the event that you are approaching points of confinement, you may need to anticipate adding assets to your server or relocating to another one. On the off chance that you are not utilizing a presentation observing device, you can introduce systat on most Linux servers. This will give you some standard presentation information.
10. Audit client accounts.
In the event that you have had staff changes, customer scratch-offs or other client transforms, you will need to expel these clients from your framework. Putting away old locales and clients is both a security and lawful hazard. Contingent upon your administration contracts, you might not reserve the option to hold a customer's information after they have ended administrations
