Summary
This chapter completes Part 1, Getting Started with Grafana. In this part, we installed the Grafana server, checked out the Grafana application interface, set up some simple dashboards, and graphed test data sources. In the next part, Part 2, Real-World Grafana, we’ll start looking more deeply at these same features and learn how to use them in more realistic scenarios.
We’ll start Chapter 4, Connecting Grafana to a Prometheus Data Source, by building a simple data pipeline with a Prometheus data source, which we’ll query in Grafana Explore. The patterns established in the chapter will be the foundation for building even more complex pipelines in later chapters.
