The monitoring considered in the OP is for server farms and networks where the main challenges are rates of false alarms and rates of missed detections. The challenge is to find means of monitoring that will permit selecting the rate of false alarms are willing to tolerate and, then, for that rate, get the lowest rate possible for missed detections. Thus, would like to use the Neyman-Pearson result. Usually, however,…

It's a spectrum to me. We're way behind the curve on monitoring and the "state of the art" in, anywhere but cutting edge shops, is woeful. I'd love folks to be able to anomaly detection easily and simply but the technology and tools aren't quite there yet. I am just hoping to get folks to advance their environments a little way forward.

Another thought. Two really: - Lead us into more about the why before showing the price. Really tell the story of the pain that so many of us can identify with. - Use a standard three teir pricing box style, with the values of each above the price. Something like: https://planscope.io/pricing/

does the book provide example applications that are monitored using the information provided or does it just go through the tools that can be used.

If you haven't read one of the authors book's before (he's released titles on both Logstash and Docker.), he puts out really quality material and he seems to update them when new releases of the subject come out. This looks like another great release. Kudos James.

Yes, the situation is horrible. I'm reluctant to believe that the "cutting edge shops" are doing very well. For good "tools", I have a good paper on the subject, but from all I can see there is essentially no interest. People would prefer not to be bothered. The attitude seems to be, if there is a problem, then we will detect it, eventually if not soon, and then we will fix it.
