This book teaches you how to begin working with the Grafana data visualization platform. It's a "how-to manual" for deploying and administering Grafana, creating real-time dashboards and alerts, exploring the data you have, and even synthesizing new data by combining and manipulating data from multiple different sources. You'll be able to see and manage data on any scale, from your laptop or a Raspberry Pi to a production datacenter or even a multi-region cloud environment!
Getting Started with Grafana takes a hands-on approach. You'll learn by doing with easy-to-follow examples along with pointers to more resources to help you go deeper. The skills you'll learn will help you provide real business value by monitoring your operations in real time and reacting to changing circumstances as they occur. You'll be able to derive new insights from your existing data through Grafana's powerful and beautiful graphing capabilities, and you'll be able to share your dashboards with colleagues so everyone in your organization can benefit.
