According to the check-sheet print available at the control room (if not, you can find in wiki page), the observational shift members have to check the DMG software status monitor on the console every 2 hours. The console is placed in the server room next to the control room.
The observational shift members may check the log output on the lower part of the screen of the console, when checking the DMG Monitor. A red message will appear, if a fatal error happens.
