Are you looking for a Prometheus tutorial to teach you how to collect metrics and monitor using Prometheus and Grafana? Look no further!
Prometheus is a free and powerful time-series database that monitors microservices and infrastructure, such as Kubernetes. Its flexible query language, PromQL, lets you record real-time metrics and generate valuable insights.
This course is tailored for developers, DevOps Engineers, and Solution Architects who want to learn Prometheus and Grafana's observability stack and apply it to their work.
You'll learn how to set up and configure Prometheus, Grafana, Grafana Loki, Grafana Alloy and Grafana Mimir on Linux, Windows, macOS, and with Docker. This powerful stack will enable you to collect metrics and logs, and visualise them with professional-looking dashboards in Grafana.
Prometheus is thoroughly explored in this course, covering functions, Alerting, Recording Rules, Short-lived Jobs, Push Gateway, and Security.
Grafana is also adequately covered in lectures that teach you how to install Grafana, create dashboards, set up alerting rules, notify management, and administer Grafana.
Metrics are not the only signal that matters in the realm of observability. Logs play a crucial role in identifying and, more importantly, diagnosing the root cause of the problems. That's why the course has a section specifically for Grafana Loki, Grafana Lab's log collection and analysis tool.
No setup headaches — you'll also get instant access to a browser-based playground powered by Killer Coda, so you can start experimenting without installing anything. Great for quick access to Prometheus and Grafana environments.
This course is continuously updated to ensure you stay up-to-date with the latest changes and additions to Grafana and Prometheus.
