Summary

Having a rock solid monitor platform on your side is the key to cloud success (actually any production  systems success). Remember that this is only a starting point. I expect you to improve/customize it for your specific needs. I am looking forward to seeing all your great work in the future. Please make sure to share any changes you make, remember Open Source is all about sharing. Before wrapping up this final chapter, let's take a moment to recap what we discussed. First we covered some monitoring tips and tricks. Then examined the OpenStack components worth monitoring. Next, we learned how to use Ansible ad hoc commands. We then transitioned into how to set up Nagios and import the custom plugins for the service checks. Finally, we developed Ansible playbooks and roles to automate the base installation of Nagios and NConf with customizing it to completely monitor an OpenStack cloud.  

Well ladies and gentleman, this has been fun and honestly a privilege to be allowed to share...
