Here's my process that I take:
Go to Home > Host Status:
- Make sure things are showing up
- Click on a host and force a check, make sure the date/time changes
- Click the + tab and submit a passive DOWN check result, make sure it submits properly and the date/time/output changes AND that you receive a host down notification
Go to Admin > System Status and make sure everything shows green.
Go to Admin > Monitoring Engine Status:
- Make sure the graph on the right shows up (can indicate invalid SSL setup)
- Make sure the items on the left show green
- Click one of the gray X to to disable, refresh the page to make sure it shows disabled, then re-enable it.
Apply Configuration and make sure it succeeds.
Make sure things are showing up in Home > Service Status.
That entire process tests a lot of different things with communication between the frontend and backend and is what I use to validate customers systems have been upgraded properly and are working.
