Grafana Labs

Grafana Labs – LMS Overview

This course provides hands-on experience with Grafana, focusing on data visualization, dashboards, and observability in modern DevOps and cloud-native environments. It is designed to help learners understand how to transform metrics and logs into meaningful insights for monitoring and operational decision-making.

Learners will begin with Grafana fundamentals, including architecture, data sources, dashboards, panels, and visualization types. The course then progresses into configuring and managing data sources such as Prometheus, Loki, and cloud monitoring services.

Through practical labs and real-world scenarios, learners will practice building interactive dashboards, creating custom panels, applying variables and transformations, and setting up alerts. Learners will also explore integrating Grafana with monitoring and logging tools to achieve full-stack observability.

The course covers best practices for dashboard design, alerting strategies, and access control, as well as troubleshooting visualization and data source issues. Learners will gain practical exposure to production-ready Grafana usage and observability workflows.

By the end of this course, learners are expected to confidently create, manage, and optimize Grafana dashboards, visualize system and application performance, and support monitoring and observability initiatives in real-world DevOps and SRE environments.
