Best practices for administrators

Golden rules for configuration and operation of censhare.


No tests on productive systems

Use the test system. Test new features, clients, plug-ins and other changes always on a test system first.

  • Any untested configuration change or system component can cause performance problems or errors.

Updates and changes only with low server load

Perform configuration updates/changes with the censhareAdmin always at times of low server load.

  • Updates that are passed on to the client, can lead to performance problems or errors.

Run comprehensive master data changes always at times of low server load.

  • Changes can have unexpected effects on many assets and the cache database and thereby lead to performance problems.

Comment your changes

For configuration changes in modules and services always leave a comment in the comment box. Ideally with date and ticket ID, if available.

  • It makes it possible to assign subsequent problems to the change.

Monitor file systems

Monitor the utilization of file systems.

  • Full file systems will cause performance problems, errors or system downtime.
