[Medium]: The server that hosts the uptime site would routinely stop working and services would fail exactly 3 days of being up. After not being able to locate the issue, a workaround is in place to restart the server every 2 days via cron and a script is run to shrink the database that the server uses to store information. I confirmed no further intervention is needed by me to do this, therefore monitoring the automation of this is all that is needed.
