Acknowledgments

Now I'm sure I'll forget to thank someone when I finish this, so I apologize for this beforehand.

I do know for sure I need to thank my girlfriend Karin, my family, and friends (especially Jurriaan for being my "nerd buddy") for letting me off the hook whenever I had to cancel or postpone dates while writing this book.

A very big thank-you to the guys at Opsview and a special thank-you to Duncan, Neil, Ton, Rob, and Adnan for all their help and support over the years that I have been running/using/playing around with Opsview (and for listening to me whenever I have some weird and wild feature request or idea).

Of course the guys in my old monitoring team: Arjan, Frans, Job, and Robin for letting me build and be in charge of the Opsview environment and helping me out whenever I needed support.

A special thank-you must also go to Duncan, Jesse, and Surendra, who reviewed this book and did a fantastic job by keeping me on my toes and providing essential feedback and recommendations.

And last but not the least I would like to thank the people at QNH and specially my manager Ruud and our Qniversity manager Diana for supporting me on this endeavor and for always helping me out with whatever I needed.
