The Art of Monitoring
First off, I'd like to say that I think this is great and we need more books in this space.<p>I hope this can be seen as constructive criticism but I do have a few comments on the layout and content.<p>1. Free chapter - perhaps chapter one or two may have been a better choice. I'd like to know the philosophy behind monitoring expressed in the book before diving into the details.<p>2. capacity planning - A chapter on this would have been great. Most teams I've worked with have struggled with sizing, planning resources required and archiving strategies with their monitoring solutions.<p>3. Monitoring strategies for different levels in the stack - where do I start, what should my short term goals be and so on.<p>4. naming of some of the chapters  are too focused on the technology- for example the chapter on logstash could have been renamed to something to do with application logging or log scrapping.<p>5. visualisation and communication of results - there could have been a chapter on dashboard and reporting. This is a common issue with teams trying to understand how to do this.<p>This was written in a bit of a hurry but I hope my points came through.
