Key Prometheus concepts every Grafana user should know

Oct 11, 2024 By Leandro Melendez Vazquez In Grafana
Prometheus has become an essential technology in the world of monitoring and observability. I’ve been aware of its importance for some time, but as a performance engineer, my experience with Prometheus had been limited to using it to store some metrics and visualize them in Grafana. Being a Grafanista, I felt I should dig deeper into Prometheus, knowing it had much more to offer than just being a place to throw performance test results.

Inside PromQL: A closer look at the mechanics of a Prometheus query

Oct 8, 2024 By Bryan Boreham In Grafana
Even though I’m a Prometheus maintainer and work inside the Prometheus code, I found many of the details of PromQL, the Prometheus query language, obscure. Many times I would look something up, or go deep into the code to find out exactly what it did, only to forget it again the next month. So, trying to live up to my job title of Distinguished Engineer at Grafana Labs, I resolved to write the definitive guide: what really happens when I execute a PromQL query?

How to use Prometheus to efficiently detect anomalies at scale

Oct 3, 2024 By Jorge Creixell In Grafana
When you investigate an incident, context is everything. Let’s say you’re working on-call and get pinged in the middle of the night. You open the alert and it sends you to a dashboard where you recognize a latency pattern. But is the spike normal for that time of day? Is it even relevant? Next thing you know, you’re expanding the time window and checking other related metrics as you try to figure out what’s going on. It’s not to say you won’t find the answers.

Container monitoring with Grafana: Helpful resources to get started

Oct 2, 2024 By Usman Ahmad In Grafana
In simple terms, containers are a standard package of software that enable applications to run consistently across different computing environments. Often, these applications are broken down into smaller collections of independent services known as microservices. For many organizations, these microservices-based applications have replaced traditional monolithic applications because they offer increased performance, flexibility, and scale.
