Also, is this by any chance a managed instance like Amazon RDS or Azure, or is
it a local database under your control?

It is a normal installation on a Linux machine, and my
company has full root access to it over SSH.  Because of
strict security measures, however, only a certain employee
can connect, and only form a certain client machine.  I will
answer the other questions as soon as I am able to arrange a
session at his PC to perform the recommended diagnostic
queries.

Better hope he doesn't get hit by a bus, decide to quit, etc.

And that specific client machine doesn't break, become corrupted during a
Windows Update, get malware, etc.
