I was interested in learning Nagios to create an agile and a simple alert system in a short period of time. The book is very clear, the contents are well exposed, structured and with many good examples.

This book is accompanied by a github page that will help you automate your Nagios installation. To speed up the operating system part in chapter 2 the authors give you an example of running Nagios inside a linux container (Docker). How cool is that!This book is intended for system administrators, but I’ve met developers and others responsible for applications who could use this book to get a running start. I’ve been working on this book as a technical reviewer. What I like about this book is the variety of practical examples on performing checks using plugins and the chapter about NRDP that will teach you how to submit results (availability and/or performance) to Nagios. Looking for an alternative web interface or mobile app? Please have a look at chapter 5.Last but not least, looking for best practices on keeping Nagios configuration maintainable? Read this book!
