Resources on this list should be checked regularly to see that they are in working order.
During "walkthrough"
Services
italicized text is checked on a per room basis
Software and Systems
- mailing list moderation
- reply to subscription requests to determine sentience
- Check each server up and up-to-date? http://monitor/nagios2 look at tactical overview. A report is also emailed to asswatch every night at midnight. If you want to use the command line, there are three scripts: list_problems (lists everything that has a problem, and what that problem is), down (lists down servers), and needs_upgrading (lists servers that need to be "aptitude dist-upgrade"ed). These scripts live on monitor.
- web services administration (wiki, todo, lessons, area, dev/svn, dev/projects, web, web/mail, www, others...)
- integrate this with nagios? Ryan will look into what can and needs to be integrated.
- check if there are any open security announcement tickets. Search for open RT tickets created by ass-security@our_domain. If you like the command line, then you can use this (mainly self explanatory, just run it) script: ./ass/scripts/security/show_security
Servers & Security
- Security cameras
- Software set up correctly and running.
- pointing in correct direction
- visual inspection
- look for things like bad fans on servers
- dust/vaccuum servers, switches
- look dangerous cable tangles, stress/tension on punched-down cables
- UPS check
- Tests successfully
- Balanced load
- Battery installation within 3 years
Phones
- Outgoing Phone Message
- All listed phones working
Printers
Ryan will integrate the "on and ready" and "stalled jobs" into nagios.
- Are all printers on and ready? http://scribble:631
- are there stalled jobs?
- are there paper jams (walk around)
- are they free of non-standard paper
hubs/switches/networking
- check network ports around room
- check for bad fans
Rooms
Meeting Room
- Projector and computer
- Network hub (plugged into wall correctly)

- Wireless access point

- Printer (toner low? paper?)
- Terminals and monitors functioning well?
upstairs and downstairs office
- terminals
- networking
- phones
Production
- Advanced testing
- lots of networking
- testers functioning
- build (+mac +laptop +enterprise)
- networking
- terminals and images.
Taken care of by somebody/something else
- watch all of the asswatch scripts, and makes sure that they are working. (Ryan does this)
- rootmail cleanup/checkup (Ryan)
- check each server is listed in purpose (asswatch)
- backups working on each server (asswatch)
- check each server with maintenance notes and script, check rootmail is working (Ryan does this every so often, probably doesn't need to be done often)
