RHEL Server Maintenance & Monitoring

I’m looking for an intermediate-level Linux administrator who can take ownership of my RHEL environment and Windows administrator Your day-to-day focus will be on two things: keeping the servers healthy through regular maintenance and proactively monitoring key services so we catch issues before users notice.

The estate is entirely Red Hat Enterprise Linux, so familiarity with typical RHEL tooling—yum/dnf, systemd, firewalld, SELinux, and standard log analysis utilities—is essential. While the immediate need is RHEL, the skill to adapt procedures to other distributions such as Ubuntu or CentOS down the road would be a plus.

Scope of work
• Schedule and perform routine patching, security updates, and package management without disrupting production
• Configure and fine-tune monitoring (Nagios, Zabbix, or a comparable tool you’re comfortable with) to track CPU, memory, disk I/O, network throughput, and critical application services
• Document every change in a concise, reproducible manner so hand-off is seamless

Acceptance criteria
• All servers fully patched and rebooted (when required) in an agreed maintenance window
• Monitoring dashboards and alert rules validated with test incidents
• A brief handover report outlining work performed, configurations added or modified, and next-step recommendations

If this sounds like the right fit, let’s discuss timelines and get you SSH access to the staging box so we can start with a small pilot task.
