Beginning with an overview of observability concepts, this book teaches you how to instrument code and monitor systems in practice using standard protocols and Grafana libraries. As you progress, you'll create a free Grafana cloud instance and deploy a demo application to a Kubernetes cluster to delve into the implementation of the LGTM stack. You'll learn how to connect Grafana Cloud to AWS, GCP, and Azure to collect infrastructure data, build interactive dashboards, make use of service level indicators and objectives to produce great alerts, and leverage the AI \u0026amp; ML capabilities to keep your systems healthy. You'll also explore real user monitoring with Faro and performance monitoring with Pyroscope and k6. Advanced concepts like architecting a Grafana installation, using automation and infrastructure as code tools for DevOps processes, troubleshooting strategies, and best practices to avoid common pitfalls will also be covered. After reading this book, you'll be able to use the Grafana stack to deliver amazing operational results for the systems your organization uses.\u003c\/p\u003eWhat you will learn\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand fundamentals of observability, logs, metrics, and distributed traces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFind out how to instrument an application using Grafana and OpenTelemetry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollect data and monitor cloud, Linux, and Kubernetes platforms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild queries and visualizations using LogQL, PromQL, and TraceQL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManage incidents and alerts using AI-powered incident management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeploy and monitor CI\/CD pipelines to automatically validate the desired results\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake control of observability costs with powerful in-built features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchitect and manage an observability platform using Grafana\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eWho this book is for\u003cp\u003eIf you're an application developer, a DevOps engineer, a SRE, platform engineer, or a cloud engineer concerned with Day 2+ systems operations, then this book is for you.
