What you need for this book

This book requires a Linux server. As all of the examples are created using Ubuntu Linux, it is recommended that you use this distribution. The book goes through the process of setting up Nagios, so installing it is not a prerequisite of this book.

The Nagios web interface requires a web server. Chapter 3, Using the Nagios Web Interface, provides a step-by-step instruction on how to set up an Apache web server and configure it so that it be used with Nagios.
