The StifleR Server(s) needs regular maintenance like any other critical infrastructure to function effectively and continuously. In this section you find an operations guide that the sysadmin or operations team can follow to maintain a StifleR Environment. The guide is divided in to daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly operation tasks.
In general the tasks described in these documents should be implemented into whatever ticketing system that is being used, such as Service Now, Remedy or Zendesk.
