The Four Questions Every Monitoring Engineer is Asked Kindle Edition

by Leon Adato (Author), Raphael Davidovich (Author), Rob Masek (Illustrator), Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars (3)
If you are interested in monitoring and successfully set up a system for your own use, there comes a moment when you go from watching systems that you care about, to monitoring systems that other people care about. This is where things get especially tricky. In your new role, you will find yourself answering certain questions repeatedly.

Over the course of 20 years as a monitoring specialist, I’ve come to think of them as “The Four Questions,” modeled after the four questions that are asked during the Passover meal, or Seder. Once framed in that context, I started to see other connections, lessons, and insights between the Passover Seder and IT generally, and monitoring specifically.

I’ve realized that successful monitoring solutions often address these questions up-front, while those installations which weren’t prepared for the four questions were often unsuccessful.

In this book, I describe the four common questions and their answers, and show how to structure your monitoring solution in order to answer the questions (and as a result, provide monitoring services) successfully.

About the Author

Rabbi Davidovich is a native of Montreal. He is a musmach of Ner Israel Rabbinical College in Baltimore, where he also served as a rabbinic intern at Congregation Shomrei Emunah under Rabbi Dr. Tzvi Hirsh Weinreb. He was rabbi of Adath Jeshurun Congregation in Newport News, Virginia, from 2001 until he came to HJC in September of 2006. The Rabbi and his wife Deena have five children.

In a career spanning three decades and four countries, Leon Adato has been an actor, electrician, carpenter, stage combat instructor, pest control technician, Sunday school teacher, and ASL interpreter. He also occasionally worked on computers. Leon got his start teaching computer classes, worked his way up the IT food chain from desktop support to server support to desktop environment standardization engineer and onward, to systems monitoring, management, and automation. Along the way, he discovered a weird love for taking tests, and picked up an alphabet's worth of certifications, including WPCR, CNE, A+, MCP, MCSE, MCSE+I, CCNA, and SCP. Leon spent almost 20 years honing his monitoring skills at companies that ranged in scale from modest (10-100 systems), to moderate (1-3,000 systems) to ludicrous (250,000 systems in 5,000 locations), becoming proficient with a variety of tools and solutions along the way

    An excellent framework for monitoring system implementation using the Passover Seder

    TL;DR; You should read this if you are a monitoring engineer, if you manage a monitoring engineer, if you have software that is being monitored, if you have software that SHOULD be monitored, if you want an interesting approach to deciding how to think about implementing technology.

    In other words, you should probably read this.

    ******************

    A few “about me”s. I’m not a monitoring engineer. I am the CTO of a startup and a software developer and, in general, I don’t like monitoring OR network administration. I value those who do that work.

    Also, I’m not Jewish, but am interested in religious thought, so the tie in between the Passover Seder and monitoring engineering caught my attention.

    The book is an excellent read. The style is engaging and the content is valuable for approaching building and maintaining a monitoring solution for a number of situations. The questioning approach as illustrated by the Passover Seder is a good framework for approaching nearly any business (maybe even personal) decision making process, and because of the parallels, it is easy to think through how the content of the book will apply to your own life and system.

    The “outline” of the four questions…(spoiler alert...and a bonus fifth)...takes you deeper and deeper in to the process of building a monitoring solution, to plan for the future, to communicate what you’ve done, to get your team working together to make it all happen. This simple structure has a depth of insight that you might expect from a process that goes back centuries.

    The book has that depth without being overwhelming, is general enough to apply to most situations, but specific enough to be relevant. No vague hand waving, but also not a “step by step, do it my way or else” approach. Leon has hit the sweet spot of having a useful and entertaining read that can help YOU work through YOUR situation.

    I highly recommend it
