This could happen through manual database +administration outside of the Bugzilla user interface, or from some +other unexpected event. Bugzilla includes a "Sanity Check" that +can perform several basic database checks, and repair certain problems or +inconsistencies. + +To run a Sanity Check, log in as an Administrator and click the +:guilabel:`Sanity Check` link in the admin page. Any problems that are found +will be displayed in red letters. If the script is capable of fixing a +problem, it will present a link to initiate the fix. If the script cannot +fix the problem it will require manual database administration or recovery. + +Sanity Check can also be run from the command line via the perl +script :file:`sanitycheck.pl`. The script can also be run as +a :command:`cron` job. Results will be delivered by email to an address +specified on the command line. + +Sanity Check should be run on a regular basis as a matter of +best practice. + |
