What you need for this book

This book requires a Linux server to run Nagios on. As all of the examples are created using Ubuntu Linux, it is recommended that you use this distribution. However, the installation process should work on most Linux distributions. The book goes through the process of setting up Nagios and its web interface in Chapter 2, Installing Nagios 4, so installing it is not a prerequisite.
