Description
Grafana is an open-source visualization and monitoring platform that transforms raw data from various sources into clean, interactive dashboards.What’s in this course?Grafana has grown from a simple dashboarding tool into the visual heartbeat of modern observability. This course is your hands-on journey into mastering Grafana, layer by layer, demo by demo.Instead of abstract concepts, you’ll learn Grafana the practical way: by building dashboards, connecting data sources, visualizing metrics, parsing logs, setting alerts, and integrating real systems like Prometheus, CloudWatch, GitHub, MySQL, and Kubernetes.Each concept is connected to a real demonstration. No edited timelines. No perfect runs. You’ll see what a real engineer sees, including troubleshooting, fixes, and decision-making in action.Special NoteBy the end, you won’t just “use” Grafana, you’ll understand it, shape it, and integrate it confidently into real-world workflows.Course Structure:Concept-based lecturesHands-on demonstrationsCourse Contents:Introduction to GrafanaInstalling and Setting Up GrafanaGrafana Architecture & System ComponentsExploring the Grafana InterfaceWorking with CSV Data in GrafanaGrafana with GitHubIntegrating Grafana with Amazon CloudWatchGrafana and PrometheusGrafana Loki – Log AggregationGrafana Alloy and Logging PipelineNginx LoggingGrafana AlertingGrafana with DatabasesGrafana Access ControlK8s Integration with Grafana and PrometheusAll sections of this course are demonstrated live, with the goal of encouraging enrolled users to set up their own environments, complete the exercises, and learn through hands-on experience!
