There are 3 modules in this course

By the end of this course, learners will be able to install and configure Prometheus, integrate exporters for system and cloud metrics, deploy Alertmanager for reliable notifications, and design powerful Grafana dashboards. They will also apply PromQL operators and functions to query time-series data and monitor applications and short-lived jobs using Pushgateway and Apache exporter.

This course is designed to provide a complete, hands-on learning journey, starting from foundational setup to advanced monitoring and visualization. Unlike generic tutorials, it offers a structured progression: learners first build a Prometheus environment, then extend it with cloud integrations, alerts, and security, and finally master advanced querying and visualization techniques. With a focus on real-world projects, learners gain practical skills in monitoring infrastructure, analyzing system performance, and implementing proactive alerting pipelines. Whether aiming to strengthen DevOps expertise, improve cloud monitoring, or enhance observability practices, this course delivers the practical knowledge needed to monitor, alert, and visualize with Prometheus effectively.

This module introduces learners to the fundamentals of Prometheus monitoring by guiding them through environment setup, installation, and core tools. Learners will configure Prometheus, integrate Grafana, and begin working with exporters to collect system metrics. By the end of this module, learners will have a fully functional Prometheus lab environment.
