From the Preface A Word on Monitoring Today Monitoring is a quickly evolving topic. To make things more challenging, monitoring is a topic that will never reach a state of true maturity: every time we get close, our entire world changes. In the late 90s and early 00s, Nagios was king, and we were all pretty satisfied with it. Before long, we needed to start automating infrastructure due to the growing size of it all. People began doing interesting things with scaling it (e.g., Gearman, instant failover with custom heartbeats and DRBD) and managing the configuration (e.g., external datasources, custom UIs, and MySQL-backed configuration storage), completely stretching Nagios to its limits and revealing that our ways of thinking about monitoring were beginning to show their age. This has been repeated a few times since then, of course: cloud computing, containers, microservices. While this constant change may frustrate some, it excites others. Take heart, though: the principles I will talk about are timeless. Who Should Read This Book If you deal with monitoring, this is the book for you. More specifically, this book is geared toward those seeking a foundational understanding of monitoring. Its suitable for junior staff as well as nontechnical staff looking to beef up their knowledge on monitoring. If you already have a great grasp on monitoring, this probably is not the book for you. There are no deep dives into specific tools or discussions about monitoring at Google-scale. Instead, you will find practical, real-world examples and immediately actionable advice geared to those new to the world of monitoring. Those looking for the next hot monitoring tool to implement will be disappointed. As I will discuss later in this book, theres no magic bullet for solving your monitoring challenges. As such, this book is tool-agnostic, though I certainly will mention specific tools from time to time as examples of what to do or not to do. Likewise, if you want to go deeper into a particular stack of tools, this book will not help. A minimum level of technical knowledge is assumed for this book. I assume you know the basics of running servers and writing code. My examples all reference Linux, though the topics are still generically applicable for Windows administrators as well. Read more
