Part 2 – Real-World Grafana

The goal of this section is to present a more detailed look at working with Grafana by leveraging realistic example data. In it, you will leverage Python and Docker Compose to ingest data into a variety of time series databases. You will use Grafana transformations to restructure query results. You will also examine several panel visualizations and discuss their potential use cases. Further, you will not only design and build dashboards using different panel visualizations but you will also gather real-time data, metrics, and logs for analysis and visualization, and explore observability features such as alerting.

This part comprises the following chapters:

• Chapter 4, Connecting Grafana to a Prometheus Data Source
