First 5 Minutes Troubleshooting A Server

That's what I often do, however it is clear that most of this tasks can be done automatically, so there should be somebody doing a 'linux-doctor' open source project that will try to identify issues automatically. Assuming it does not exist, but I never saw it before.

If you're able to, it's a good idea to have a monitoring system like Nagios/OpsView in place that checks most of these things for you proactively. That way you can have a good idea of the health of a server before you even connect to it. With such a system in place you'll often spot problems before your customers do too.

DataDog[1] + PagerDuty[2] do a good job at being linux-doctor. You have to be pro-active about it though...

Years ago, I remember reading about a Facebook, I think, backend system that developers building applications could hook into to automate some failure scenarios. I just haven't found the old link yet.
