Modern software systems are complex, distributed, and always on which makes monitoring a critical skill for any engineer. This course equips developers, SREs, and IT professionals with the ability to build a complete monitoring stack using Prometheus and Grafana. Starting from the basics of exporters and metric collection, learners will gain hands-on experience installing and configuring Prometheus in a Linux environment. They will then master PromQL, the powerful query language that transforms raw time-series data into actionable insights. Moving beyond queries, the course introduces alerting rules and Alertmanager, enabling proactive detection of anomalies and faster incident response. Finally, learners will integrate Prometheus with Grafana to design intuitive dashboards that bring clarity to complex systems and support real-world troubleshooting.
