Prometheus Course Introduction
Thank you for taking this Prometheus Course
Prometheus is an open-source monitoring
solution and time series database
which was built by Soundcloud,
has a very active developer and
user community, and is now a standalone
open source project.
They also joined the Cloud Native
Computing Foundation in 2016.
Prometheus is ideal for monitoring
on premise as well as cloud workloads.
In this course, we will give you
an introduction about what is
Prometheus, how to install Prometheus
and Grafana, Prometheus concepts,
how to configure it, how to monitoring
nodes and the architecture overview.
Then in the next chapter, in the
monitoring chapter, I will explain
the client libraries, pushing metrics,
querying Prometheus, doing service
discovery with Prometheus, and
what Prometheus exporters are.
In the alerting section of the course,
I will give you an introduction
to alerting in Prometheus and I
will show you how to set up alerts.
In the last chapter, Prometheus
internals, we'll explain something
about storage and about Prometheus
security.
And finally, use cases.
In this use case section,
we'll go deeper into certain real
life use cases.
The course objectives of this course
are to be able to use Prometheus,
to get familiar with the Prometheus
ecosystem, how to setup a monitoring
platform using Prometheus,
how to create alerts in Prometheus
and how to be able to query in
Prometheus data.
