Software and Systems
- Check each server up and up-to-date? http://monitor/nagios2 look at tactical overview.
- HINT: 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...)
- clarification needed: what part of these services need checking?
- integrate this with nagios? Ryan will look into what can and needs to be integrated.
- check if there are any open security announcement tickets.
- HINT: 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
