- Course 3: Grafana Alerting and Monitoring Operations
- Course 4: Grafana UI Joins and Transformations
Courses
-
Discover Grafana by visualizing real-time–like infrastructure metrics from a PostgreSQL database. In this course, learners will connect Grafana to Postgres, build time-series and stat panels, calculate derived metrics like CPU headroom, and master time bucketing for efficient, responsive dashboards that work at any time scale.
-
Graduate from query testing to production-ready dashboards. Learn to create organized dashboards, add multiple panels, and make them interactive using template variables. Master dropdown selectors for hosts, mounts, and interfaces that filter multiple panels simultaneously, transforming static charts into dynamic exploration tools.
-
Turn dashboards into proactive monitoring. Create alert rules, set thresholds, combine conditions, use reduce functions, add annotations for context, and apply multi-threshold severity levels.
-
Build production-grade Grafana dashboards by mastering the UI features that turn raw query results into clean, actionable monitoring experiences. Learners will write join-ready queries using Grafana macros, stitch multiple data sources together using UI joins and composite keys, and shape data using transformations like Filter, Group by, Reduce, Rename, and Sort—all without rewriting SQL.
