cisco ISE database health check

[kevshah]

We had a situation where the DB was corrupted in the process of doing an ISE upgrade from 1.1.4 to 1.2. As a result of which the entire network was down.

Is there a way to monitor DB health on regular basis just so as to avoid the above situation in future?

Thanks,

Hi Keval, can you provide more information on what exactly happened when the DB got corrupted? I have done several upgrades from 1.1.x to 1.2 and as long as I followed the upgrade procedure I never had any issues. 

Otherwise, to answer your question, the access to the database is restricted so I don't think there is a way to monitor/query the DB from an external system. This is why it is very important to have backups! :)
