I'm sure it depends but I have access to all our database servers and review
server logs when something happens. Then I open a ticket if I find something.
I'm sure lines of authority vary widely in the field.

So how many of you are responsible for examining your database servers for
hardware/software faults when it crashes? Not the database, but the actual
machine?
We recently had a server crash that reported problems when it came back up. It
has also saved a dumpfile to be examined and it reported problems during the
POST routine.
Now I get this email from my DBA manager: (paraphrased)
"Chris,
John [pc/lan mgr] requested that we try to put our finger on what caused
MachineA to failover on Saturday. I looked through the logs extensively today
[uh huh] and couldn't find anything - can you look around too and see if you
find anything?"
-Bob"
(Obviously names changed)
Maybe I'm just in a bad mood this morning....grrrr
