Description
This course gives a thorough introduction to Prometheus. Prometheus is a leading open-source monitoring and alerting platform for cloud-native infrastructures. No previous Prometheus experience is needed. Basic Linux command line and system administration knowledge is recommended. You will get detailed instructions and hands-on exercises. You will install, configure, and run Prometheus to monitor systems, collect metrics, and set up alerts. Whether you're new to monitoring or experienced, this course helps you use Prometheus for effective monitoring and alerting.
You will start by building a Prometheus server from scratch on Ubuntu. Step-by-step guidance and clear documentation make it easy to follow along with the videos. This process creates a solid, practical foundation. Hands-on practice helps you solve problems and apply these skills elsewhere.
By the end, you will have a Prometheus setup in the cloud. Your system will have a reverse proxy, SSL-enabled domain, and Basic Authentication. You will create custom recording and alerting rules. Local and external node exporters will run. Alertmanager sends emails via an SMTP service. You will link Grafana to Prometheus and build dashboards. Enroll now to start mastering Prometheus for modern monitoring and alerting. Take the next step and secure your spot today!
Prometheus is an open-source tool used for event monitoring and alerting.
Section 1: Prometheus: Setting Up Monitoring and Alerting
This section introduces Prometheus and explains how to install, configure, and deploy it for monitoring and alerting. Before starting, you should have a basic understanding of Linux command line and networking concepts. It covers the architecture, data model, and key components, including exporters, alert managers, and Grafana. Demonstrations guide you through setting up Prometheus, monitoring metrics, defining alerts, and managing notifications.
Section 2: Project on Prometheus: Monitoring and Alerting
In this project, you will use the concepts from Section 1 to build a Prometheus setup. Follow step-by-step instructions for setup, adding alert rules, and creating notification channels. Practical tasks connect theory and skills.
These sections integrate theory with practice. Start deploying and managing Prometheus in your environment today. Take action and put these skills to use now.
