I (Max Schubert) am the lead author on an upcoming book on Nagios 3 from Syngress; the co-authors on the book are:

• Derrick Bennet
• Jonathan Gines
• Andrew Hay
• John Strand

I would like to thank them for making this a very interesting project. Everyone on the team had something useful to say and we all had different approaches and views of Nagios; I think the variety of views make this book very interesting.

The focus of the book is on integrating Nagios into larger organizations; in the book we discuss the following topics related to Nagios:

• New Features in Nagios 3
• Designing Configurations for Large Organizations
• Scaling Nagios
• Enterprise Integration of Nagios with Other Software Packages
• Nagios Plugin Cookbook with a focus on SNMP
• Intrusion Detection and Security Analysis with Nagios
• Add-ons and Enhancements
• Case Study

The book will be out in May, 2008. We worked hard to make this not 'just another basic how-to install / paraphrase of documentation' book. We had a lot of fun writing it and we hope that those of you who read it find it to be both educational and useful.
