Disclaimer: The actual course content may vary from the above, depending on the trainer, implementation, duration and constellation of participants.

Whether we call it training, course, workshop or seminar, we want to pick up participants at their point and equip them with the necessary practical knowledge so that they can apply the technology directly after the training and deepen it independently.

Goal:

After the course, participants will be able to use Prometheus and Grafana as monitoring and alerting systems in their projects to continuously monitor the state and performance of their applications and be notified of any problems in a timely manner.

Form:

The course consists of explanations by the trainer, practical exercises, and joint discussions. Using an example project, we will work on the topics step by step and directly apply what we have learned. Participants will be continuously supported by our experienced trainer.

Target Audience:

Software developers, DevOps Engineers, and system administrators who want to efficiently monitor their applications and systems and respond quickly to any issues.

Requirements:

Basic knowledge of working with Linux or Unix-like operating systems, container technology, and web applications.

Preparation:

Each participant will receive a questionnaire and an installation guide after registration to set up the required software on their own laptop. Based on the answers, they will receive individual feedback to be best prepared for the course.
