Review: Evaluation up.time 3.0
Emmett Dulaney
I have been on a self-imposed mission lately to find the best server availability/performance-monitoring tool that I can. All I'm asking for is a quick update of how the servers are running and where there are potential problems. I want something simple enough that there is no need to have to flip open a manual each time a report is required, and robust enough to grow with a medium-sized company.

Extending Nagios
Jeffrey L. Taylor
Nagios is an open source package for monitoring hosts, services, and networks. The base package is a daemon that collects the data and some CGI scripts to present the data as Web pages. Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier covered Nagios installation and configuration previously in The Open Road: Nagios. Nagios is easily extended with plug-ins and eventhandlers. Plug-ins collect additional types of data. Eventhandlers take action based on alerts generated when user defined thresholds are exceeded. The Nagios Plugins package contains more than 50 plug-ins. This article covers the basics of writing your own plug-ins and eventhandlers.

Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier
Somehow, I managed to miss The Linux Cookbook on its first go-around, so I can't say what has changed between the first and second edition. However, Randy Reames noted that the book "seems to address old Linux features and leave out newer, more common ones" when reviewing the first edition for UnixReview.com back in 2001.
