What is Prometheus & Grafana?
Prometheus:
Prometheus is a robust monitoring system that collects metrics from configured targets at given intervals only (on-demand, HTTP-based instrumentation based underlying system metrics), evaluates user defined rules for the evaluation and alerting based on those time series (unlike traditional monitoring tools which use a fixed threshold to trigger alerts, Prometheus algorithms comparably data over time), and can send its current set of time series as well as alerting rules to the accompanying Grafana front-end.
Grafana:
Grafana is an open-source platform for monitoring and observability. It allows you to query, visualize, alert on your Prometheus metrics—or anything else for that matter. From simple graphs to complex dashboards with Annotations, it's a powerful tool in the DevOps arsenal.
Top 3 Benefits of Using Prometheus & Grafana:
-
High Demand: Skilled monitoring experts are in high demand across industries worldwide, and your expertise can lead to lucrative career opportunities.
-
Root Cause Analysis & Prevention: By monitoring applications and infrastructure, you can quickly identify issues before they escalate into larger problems.
-
Reduced Downtime: With timely alerts and a proactive approach to monitoring, you can significantly reduce the downtime of your applications. ⏱️

Review Summary
The course offers a high-level introduction to monitoring with Grafana and Prometheus, which is well-received for its accessible instruction by an enjoyable instructor. The content covers the basics of both tools and their integration, suitable for beginners or those seeking a quick refresher. However, some users feel that a deeper dive into certain aspects would enhance the learning experience.
Pros
- Accessibility: The course is designed in a way that makes it easy to understand for learners at various levels of expertise.
- Comprehensive Coverage: It covers the installation and operation of Prometheus, Grafana, and AlertManager.
- Practical Application: The course provides practical examples and demonstrations that help learners apply what they've learned.
- Community Expectations: The course meets the expectations set out for a 1-hour learning session.
- Resource Availability: Learnrs have access to downloadable resources for setting up their monitoring environment.
Cons
- Depth of Content: Some users feel that the course could benefit from more in-depth coverage, particularly during demonstrations of dashboard configurations and metrics examples.
- Quality Concerns: The audio quality is less than optimal, with audible clicking sounds. The video content consists largely of an uncut desktop recording, which may not be as engaging or informative as a professionally produced video.
- Presentation Style: The presentation style could be improved by eliminating unnecessary steps shown (like downloading binaries) and focusing more on the key aspects of monitoring with Grafana and Prometheus.
- HA-Setup Content: The high-availability setup for Prometheus is described as abstract and superficial, suggesting that this section would be more impactful if it were revised or omitted.
- Value for Money: Given the low quality of the video and audio production and the brevity of the course, some users believe it may not justify the cost compared to free resources available online.
Additional Feedback
- Code Requests: Some learners requested code examples for monitoring specific applications like Tomcat/JVM and JMS (ActiveMQ), indicating that ready-to-use code snippets could be a valuable addition to the course material.
Conclusion
Overall, the course is appreciated for its introduction to Grafana and Prometheus monitoring but would benefit from improvements in production quality and content depth. Learners are encouraged to complement this course with additional resources and perhaps seek out more detailed courses if they require a deeper understanding of monitoring advanced setups.
