Description

Get ready to unlock the full potential of the open-source Grafana observability platform, ideal for analyzing and monitoring time-series data with this updated second edition. This beginners guide will help you get up to speed with Grafana’s latest features for querying, visualizing, and exploring logs and metrics, no matter where they are stored. Starting with the basics, this book demonstrates how to quickly install and set up a Grafana server using Docker. You’ll then be introduced to the main components of the Grafana interface before learning how to analyze and visualize data from sources such as InfluxDB, Telegraf, Prometheus, Logstash, and Elasticsearch. The book extensively covers key panel visualizations in Grafana, including Time Series, Stat, Table, Bar Gauge, and Text, and guides you in using Python to pipeline data, transformations to facilitate analytics, and templating to build dynamic dashboards. Exploring real-time data streaming with Telegraf, Promtail, and Loki, you’ll work with observability features like alerting rules and integration with PagerDuty and Slack. As you progress, the book addresses the administrative aspects of Grafana, from configuring users and organizations to implementing user authentication with Okta and LDAP, as well as organizing dashboards into folders, and more. By the end of this book, you’ll have gained all the knowledge you need to start building interactive dashboards.

I have been implementing Grafana based data visualization for our various Digitalization requirements for my global organization. I always had the challenge in training others and bringing them up to speed with Grafana.This book is well written and organized for the new as well as the experienced as a reference book. Large organizations trying to drive digitalization/cloud strategies etc need to visualize their continuous progress. To do that, every appropriately involved person needs to bring up their creative way of data identification and visualization.This book should be digitally or physically available to the engineers/operations personnel to get into the world of Grafana. This book shall facilitate way more than an introduction. I highly recommend this book.

Here's a crappy review that (a) I hope stops the onslaught of "review now!" emails and which will catch somebody's eye: You can't prompt for a review of a 542-page volume after just 2 days and expect a realistic review from the vast majority of your customer base. If you really want legitimate feedback, you need to wait a least a couple weeks.
