Prometheus Fundamentals Training Course
Prometheus is an open source time series database for systems monitoring and alerting. It is decoupled from a larger infrastructure, making it a reliable tool to diagnose problems immediately during an outage.
This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at system administrators and DevOps engineers who wish to use Prometheus to monitor systems and applications natively or through highly dynamic microservices running in a cloud environment.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Install and configure Prometheus.
- Understand the features, architecture, and core concepts of Prometheus.
- Learn how to query data using PromQL.
- Build visualizations and dashboards with Grafana.
- Configure systems monitoring and alerting rules.
- Analyze and optimize systems and application performance.
- Enable secure integration to remote endpoints and existing systems.
Format of the Course
- Interactive lecture and discussion.
- Lots of exercises and practice.
- Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
