• Licensing: Activation, capacity and expiry, and transfer to a replacement installation.
• Upgrades: In-place procedures by operating system.
• Deployment: DEV, TEST, PROD, HA, and moving projects between environments.
• Configurations: Project settings, users and roles, migration, Log Archive DB, Kafka, and Redpanda.
• Backup and Restore: Protect and recover the Linkiir working directory.
• Alerting and Notifications: Monitoring Linkiir, and alerting from a workflow.
• Security: First-login hardening, remote access, secrets, and patient data in logs.
• Troubleshooting: Runtime crashes, crash reports, and Log Archiver connectivity.
