Prometheus has become the default monitoring standard for Kubernetes and cloud-native
infrastructure, with the majority of container-based environments relying on it for metrics
collection and alerting. This Prometheus Training Course covers Prometheus architecture,
service discovery, PromQL, Alertmanager, and Grafana integration using the latest Prometheus
3.x release. Through hands-on labs, you’ll work with exporters, recording rules, and
multi-cluster observability, gaining the practical skills needed to monitor production
environments and prepare for the globally recognized Prometheus Certified Associate (PCA)
certification.
Prerequisites
This Prometheus online course is designed for IT professionals with basic technical knowledge.
Before starting, it is recommended that you have:
- Basic familiarity with the Linux command line.
- A general understanding of networking concepts such as HTTP and ports.
- Some exposure to Docker containers (helpful but not mandatory).
- Basic knowledge of Kubernetes is an advantage but not required.
- No previous monitoring tool experience is needed- the course begins with the fundamentals.
Course Objectives
- Understand observability concepts including metrics, logs, traces, and Prometheus’ role in modern monitoring.
- Install, configure, and scale Prometheus in on-premises and cloud-native environments.
- Write and optimize PromQL queries for monitoring and troubleshooting.
- Configure service discovery for dynamic containerized infrastructure.
- Set up Alertmanager for routing, grouping, silencing, and managing alerts.
- Integrate Prometheus with Grafana for dashboards and visualization.
- Instrument applications using Prometheus client libraries for Go, Python, and Java.
- Implement best practices for federation, long-term storage, and high availability.
- Prepare confidently for the Prometheus Certified Associate (PCA) certification exam.
What You Will Learn
- Prometheus architecture and the pull-based metrics collection model.
- Installing and configuring Prometheus Server, exporters, and client libraries.
- Writing PromQL queries using aggregation,
rate(),irate(),increase(), and histogram functions. - Configuring service discovery for Kubernetes, file-based, and cloud-provider environments.
- Creating recording rules and alerting rules.
- Managing Alertmanager routing trees, receivers, silences, and inhibition rules.
- Building interactive Grafana dashboards with Prometheus as the data source.
- Implementing remote write/read for long-term metric storage.
- Monitoring Kubernetes clusters, nodes, pods, and workloads.
- Securing Prometheus deployments using authentication, TLS, and RBAC.
- Scaling Prometheus with federation, Thanos, Cortex, and Mimir.
- Troubleshooting high-cardinality metrics and performance bottlenecks.
