Dear all,

I am working on some common tasks that need to be performed on regular
intervals in a large Database Servers. I find below lists of tasks that need
to be performed and Please tell me if i missed some.

1. Tacking Daily, Weekly Backups.
2. Finding Space Occupied and Remaining in Data Paths or Hard Disks.
3. Performing Updates of Softwares.
4. Checking Servers Power Status.

Please guide me some more tasks that need a proper attention.

That looks like a good start. I recommend looking at the
check_postgres.pl documentation (
http://bucardo.org/check_postgres/check_postgres.pl.html ) for ideas
on more things to check. And of course, using that package will make
the actual monitoring easy as well.
