regularcheck

Regularcheck is a term used in information technology to describe a scheduled, automated process that performs a predefined set of checks at fixed intervals. The concept is not codified by a single standard; rather, organizations define regularchecks to monitor system health, data integrity, security posture, and configuration compliance. A regularcheck typically comprises a catalog of checks, a scheduler, result collection, and a reporting or alerting mechanism.

Common checks may include service availability, response times, error rates, disk space, backup validation, configuration drift, access control compliance, and log integrity. The scheduler is often implemented with cron-like systems or job orchestration tools, while results are stored in a log or monitoring platform. If a check fails, alerts may be triggered and, where possible, automated remediation steps may be invoked.

Regularchecks are used across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments to provide proactive visibility and governance. They complement real-time monitoring and can form the basis of audit reports or compliance attestations. Limitations include potential false positives, performance impact, and maintenance overhead for the check catalog as systems evolve.

Variants include continuous health checks, periodic audits, and automated regulatory compliance scans. The effectiveness of a regularcheck depends on clear scope, well-defined success criteria, and regularly updated checks that reflect current risk profiles.
