A practical, project-driven workshop covering observability basics, Prometheus metrics collection, Node Exporter for host monitoring, and Grafana for dashboards. By the end, you’ll be able to instrument, collect, and visualize metrics from Linux systems.
This fast-paced course introduces the essentials of modern monitoring. You’ll learn why observability matters, set up a metrics collection pipeline using Prometheus and Node Exporter, and build live dashboards with Grafana.
- Basic Linux command‑line & shell skills
