In this course, you will gain a solid understanding of Prometheus, starting with its core concepts, architecture, and time-series data storage model. You will learn how to install and set up Prometheus for real-time monitoring of systems and services, including configuring it to scrape metrics from various endpoints using its pull-based model. You will also master PromQL, the powerful query language used to analyze and retrieve data from Prometheus. The course will cover setting up alert rules and configuring notification systems to receive real-time alerts based on custom thresholds. Additionally, you’ll explore service discovery, which enables automatic detection of services, particularly in dynamic cloud and containerized environments. You’ll also learn how to integrate Prometheus with Grafana to create dashboards that visualize system performance in real time. Finally, advanced topics like remote storage, federation, and scaling Prometheus for large environments will be explored, providing you with the knowledge to implement and manage a comprehensive monitoring solution.
