Description

To overcome application monitoring and observability challenges, Grafana Labs offers a modern, highly scalable, cost-effective Loki, Grafana, Tempo, and Mimir (LGTM) stack along with Prometheus for the collection, visualization, and storage of telemetry data. 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 & 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.

A well written tech book, lets you easily follow along with helpful steps to help you create a Grafana cloud instance and deploy a demo application to a Kubernetes cluster.Nothing is better than something you can follow along rather than an extensive dump of technical information! Thank you for putting this book together!

I recently had the opportunity to read this book that provided a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of observability with Grafana. I was particularly impressed with that the book incorporated also recent new features/services from Grafana labs.One aspect that stood out to me was the book's coverage of OpenTelemetry. This is crucial as it ensures that users are not locked into a specific vendor - it is a Grafana's commitment to providing a flexible and open solution for observability.I found myself agreeing with all the concepts mentioned in the book, as they aligned with industry best practices and provided practical insights into implementing effective observability strategies.Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in gaining a comprehensive understanding of observability with LGTM stack. Its up-to-date content, inclusion of recent features, and emphasis on OpenTelemetry support make it a valuable resource for both newcomers and seasoned professionals in the field.

It is just to force you to use grafana cloud. Everything is there in grafana just use that's all it there in this book. It never talks anything apart from this. Really repending on buying this book. You will never learn anything apart from on where to find result on cloud and how to run jars prepared by author to send data to cloud. Nothing else absolute waste.
