Learn time-series data collection and monitoring with Prometheus from an experienced expert.

Prometheus is a free time-series database used for monitoring and alerting. It records real-time metrics (telemetry data) and generates valuable insights from that data with flexible queries.

Since Prometheus supports multidimensional data collection and queuing, it has become the number one choice for many software development teams, even on large amounts of data.

Using Prometheus, you can collect and query the telemetry data and combine it with a powerful data visualization tool called Grafana. Grafana allows you to create professional-looking and complex dashboards on top of Prometheus and other time-series databases such as Graphite, SQLServer, MySQL, InfluxDB, etc.

This course is suitable for all developers, DevOps Engineers, and Solution Architects that want to quickly learn monitoring and telemetry with the edge technologies and apply the learning at their work.

After finishing this course, you will be able to set up and configure Prometheus and Grafana on Linux, Windows, and Mac to configure metrics from Linux and Windows machines. You will also be able to send telemetry data to Prometheus using the native and third-party libraries, which is useful when scraping metrics from the target resource is not possible.

Finally, you will use queries and functions to extract and retrieve complex data and display them either in Prometheus or Grafana.
