New O'Reilly Book - Network Monitoring with Nagios

Jonathan,

As you know, Nagios ( <http://www.nagios.org> www.nagios.org) is a very
popular open-source host, service and network monitoring program that helps
streamline network monitoring tasks while reducing the cost of operation.
According to the Nagios project site, Nagios is currently in use monitoring
more than 891,000 services and 195,000 hosts worldwide.

Taylor Dondich, who is the project lead for Guava (
<http://www.http//guava.sourceforge.net/> www.http//guava.sourceforge.net/)
- which enhances the presentation layer for Nagios -- recently published a
book through O'Reilly (
<http://www.oreillynet.com/catalog/networknagios/#details>
http://www.oreillynet.com/catalog/networknagios/#details) titled "Network
Monitoring with Nagios". The book serves as a shortcut guide / primer
covering installation and usage of Nagios as well as how to extend Nagios
with other tools to extend functionality. A quick read at 59 pages, it's a
handy guide not only for those who have deployed Nagios in their IT
environment, but for those considering using open source for their IT
infrastructure monitoring needs.

Taylor Dondich is a senior developer at Groundwork Open Source (
<http://www.groundworkopensource.com> www.groundworkopensource.com), which
melds more than 180 open source projects -- including Nagios -- into a
comprehensive fully supported IT infrastructure and networking monitoring
solution.

Would have any interest in reviewing "Network Monitoring with Nagios" or
doing a Q&A with the author regarding the book / Nagios project?  Thanks for
your consideration.

Best,
