Automating Application Monitoring with Prometheus delivers a comprehensive exploration of monitoring systems and automated alerting mechanisms. Participants will engage in hands-on projects that emphasize real-world applications of Prometheus, allowing them to develop skills that are directly applicable in various professional settings. This course is structured to provide a deep understanding of the Prometheus ecosystem, including its architecture, data collection methods, and integration with other tools.
Throughout the course, learners will work on practical projects that culminate in a final project focused on building a complete monitoring solution for a sample application. This project not only reinforces the concepts learned but also provides participants with a tangible outcome that can be showcased in their professional portfolio. By the end of the course, learners will have the expertise to implement and manage Prometheus for effective application monitoring in diverse environments.
