Monitoring and Alerting with Prometheus

What you'll learn
Install, Configure and run Prometheus
Setup Alerting in Prometheus
Visualizing data in Grafana
Implementing Prometheus within your own applications
Enable metrics & alerting on throughout your infrastructure
Implement instrumentation
Requirements
Prometheus will be installed during the course on a VM using DigitalOcean (you'll get a coupon to launch a droplet without charge)
No Prometheus experience is required to take this course
The course assumes basic Linux knowledge but the labs can easily be followed in the demos
Description
If you're in a DevOps, Cloud or SRE role, you'll understand how important monitoring & alerting is. You cannot build a successful application, or run a company without having a system that monitors your systems and applications and reports when something goes wrong. You need instrumentation in order to be successful. Prometheus is the leading open-source monitoring system that can collect metrics from all your systems, including Linux servers, Windows Servers, Database Servers and any application you have written. It's inspired on Google's Borgmon, which uses time-series data as a datasource, to then send alerts based on this data. This course will show you how to install and configure Prometheus on a Linux server. This course will use a VM on DigitalOcean, but you can install Prometheus on any modern Linux OS. We'll show you how to make visualizations (graphs) using Grafana. When building these graphs, you'll get to know PromQL, the language to query Prometheus and get...
