Basic audit tariff plan

1

  • One-time checking of the main system metrics
  • Semi-automatic mode with further analysis
  • Appropriate for server checking
Server type Price
1 virtual VPS/VDS 20 $
1 dedicated server 30 $

Service description - This service includes server checking according to the main approaches. Checking the main server metrics in a semi-automatic mode, using scripts with additional data analysis.

Implementation - Audit can be the best solution for checking the server`s work or as an initial server checking if you have a problem.

Main settings - CPU, RAM, drives, RAID arrays, the OS relevance, the update`s availability for software, the optimal web server configuration, and software are taken into account.

Time - The test time depends on the load and the complexity / specifics of the server. Typically, the test takes no more than 30-60 minutes.

Important! This checking does not include data collection and analytics at a set time. The test is performed once and data collection occurs at a specific point in time. If you need to get results on the server`s work at a certain point in time - let us know and we will schedule an audit. Collected data includes a number of drives, their status, errors in smart tests, raid array configuration and rationality, file system and free space, the inodes fullness. The CPU is used to determine the load average and waiting threads for the last 1, 5 and 15 minutes. CPU analysis and the efficiency of their use by web server services.

2

  • Audit performance at a certain time
  • Manual data checking by our specialist
  • Detailed server work analysis

Service Description - This is an audit of the current server performance, as well as the collection of statistical data. It allows you to analyze important options: the server load, the need to expand the configuration, the possibility of reducing resources, etc. This is a great solution for thoroughly examining and checking server health. Appropriate for virtual and dedicated servers.

Implementation - A detailed server analysis, determining the load for a certain period of time. Search for problem areas in the server settings. Recommendations for server optimization. Search, collection, and description of server errors and projects/sites running on it. Security audit of the server and the data stored on it. Recommendations for resolving and preventing configuration problems/errors.

Main settings - The main settings include the Basic audit and additional options. This includes system services and software installed on the server. All limits are checked that is not set in accordance with the configuration or can harm the stable project`s work. The security system, protection against attacks, the possibility of its implementation is studied, unprotected ports and protocols are determined. The firewall configuration is checked. The backup system is being studied.

Time - Audit takes 3 to 9 days, depending on the time range and server configuration complexity. We need at least 3 hours for auditing, installing data collection systems, analyzing data, etc.

More about comprehensive servers audit

Comprehensive virtual and dedicated servers checking is one of the main services of Secom. More than 10 years of experience in working with server equipment, setting up networks and clusters, allows us to analyze all server problems in most detail and find the optimal solution. The server audit process depends on the tariff plan you choose, but, there is a list of options that will be implemented after ordering:

  • collecting of hardware data: OS, CPU, RAM, HDD, RAID
  • server logs analysis
  • audit of software versions - PHP, MySQL

What issues does server audit help solve?
Checking the equipment, the relevance of the server hardware architecture:

  • data collection about hardware CPU, RAM, storage
  • checking for equipment errors or system failures
  • analysis of the drives, disk partitioning, file systems, RAID checking.
Software inspection:
  • the OS relevance and used programs on the server
  • checking update repositories, their security and bugs
System audit at a certain time (depending on the tariff plan):
  • server logs analysis for a certain period of 3-7 days
  • server monitoring under load and during the absence of client requests
  • the ability to work under stress conditions or DDoS attacks.

When should you audit your servers?
We recommend auditing dedicated servers at least 2 times a year. Thus, you can keep up-to-date software versions, check server load and prevent possible hardware problems. It is best to inspect virtual servers after moving to a new hosting provider, or before the expected high load. We recommend for any type of server to create an audit schedule, in which one date will be the date that precedes the “high season” of your business. In this period the load on the server will be highest. The second date is six months later. There are several main reasons to do the audit:

  • the site started to work slowly under the same loads;
  • the server gives 5xx type errors
  • changing of hosting provider
  • waiting for a high load on the server
  • suspicion of an attempt to hack the server.
