Depends on who you talk to..
Any installation should have documentation describing regular system checks to be performed.
If not, things to look for are
(a) disk space
(b) back ups are being taken
(c) log files have expected entries
(d) log files don't have unexpected entries
(e) machine can talk to those things it's supposed to
(f) no evidence of unauthorised tampering
(g) dmesg shows no unexpected additions or omissions.
(h) uptime is as expected
I'm sure people have plenty more things to add.
