This checklist is designed to ensure that IT professionals regularly monitor and assess system performance, identifying potential issues before they affect users or services. The goal is to maintain optimal system functionality and enhance user experience.
Monitor the CPU utilization percentage across all servers to ensure it remains within acceptable limits, indicating healthy performance.
Review memory usage statistics to identify any unusual spikes or trends that may indicate performance degradation or memory leaks.
Verify that adequate disk space is available on all critical systems to prevent performance bottlenecks or system failures.
Test network latency to ensure that response times are within acceptable thresholds, minimizing delays in service delivery.
Regularly review system logs for any warning or error messages that could indicate performance issues or potential failures.
Evaluate the performance of key applications to ensure they are functioning efficiently and meeting user needs.
Ensure that backups are being performed successfully and that restoration processes are tested to confirm data integrity.
Record all monitoring findings, actions taken, and any issues identified in a report for future reference and auditing purposes.
