3. **Validation:** `validate-plex-backups.sh` ensures backup integrity
|
|
4. **Recovery:** Multiple recovery scripts handle different failure scenarios
|
|
5. **Restoration:** `restore-plex.sh` safely restores from backups
|
|
6. **Verification:** `validate-plex-recovery.sh` confirms successful recovery

### Health Checks
|
|
|
|
The monitoring system tracks:
|
|
|
|
- Backup success/failure rates
|
|
- Database integrity status
|
|
- Service uptime and performance
|
|
- Disk space utilization
|
|
- Recovery operation success
|
|
|
|
### Performance Metrics
|
|
|
|
- Backup duration and size trends
|
|
- Database operation performance
|
|
- Service start/stop times
|
|
- Recovery operation benchmarks
|
|
|
|
## 🚨 Emergency Procedures
|
|
|
|
### Database Corruption
|
|
|
|
1. **First Response:** Run `backup-plex.sh --check-integrity`
|
|
2. **Gentle Recovery:** Try `recover-plex-database.sh --gentle`
|
|
3. **Advanced Recovery:** Use `icu-aware-recovery.sh` for Unicode issues
|
|
4. **Last Resort:** Execute `nuclear-plex-recovery.sh` with known good backup
|
|
5. **Validation:** Always run `validate-plex-recovery.sh` after recovery
|
|
|
|
### Service Issues
|
|
|
|
1. **Check Status:** `./plex.sh status`
|
|
2. **Restart Service:** `./plex.sh restart`
|
|
3. **Monitor Logs:** Check system logs and script logs
|
|
