The Four Questions of Monitoring Every Engineer Is Asked

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
