What Is Prometheus

Prometheus is an open-source monitoring and alerting system that has become the de facto standard in the cloud native world. It collects metrics via a pull model, stores them as time series, and lets you query them with the PromQL language. Together with Grafana and Alertmanager, it forms the foundation of modern monitoring.

How the Training Works

The training is a hands-on workshop. Starting from installing Prometheus, we’ll progressively build working monitoring - collect metrics from applications and infrastructure, write queries, build dashboards, and set up meaningful alerts.
