ESL – Enterprise System List – Is a web based interface used by us HP employees to monitor servers, see server specific configurations and installed Db / Web instances. It is useful as it gives an easy way to find who is responsible for server support. It is one of the best softwares around, the concept of the software is simple the interface is quite old school but it works perfectly. Through ESL you can whether a server host / IP's operating system / IP Addresses, is server a physical one or running on top of VMWare or other type of Virtual Machine as well as get concrete information about Street / City / Country Address of server location, Data Center where it is and rack where it is mounted.

ESL – Is called also the contract like document between end user and customer. For example a type of ESL determines the kind of support under which a server or client environment is operating, is it monitored and problems have to be fixed 7/24/365 or there are only a week days and time windows in which an urgent support in case of troubles should be provided.

I forgot to add, that you will have to learn to work with WIKI (modifying) pages, if you already haven't but that's pretty trivial. If you have already edited pages on some topic in Wikipedia you should already have basic idea 🙂

Install and configure rkhunter for improved security on a PCI DSS Linux / BSD servers with no access to Internet
       –rwo, –report-warnings-only
              This option causes only warning messages to be displayed. This can be useful when rkhunter is run via cron. Other options may
              be used to force other items of information to be displayed.

       –sk, –skip-keypress
              When  the  –check command option is used, after certain sections of tests, the user will be prompted to press the return key
              in order to continue. This option disables that feature, and rkhunter will run until all the tests have completed.
