Course Overview
Getting Started with Grafana by Grafana is an introductory course designed for IT professionals seeking foundational skills in observability and data visualization using the Grafana platform. This course prepares learners for the Grafana Associate Certification (GAC), validating core competencies in dashboard creation, alerting, and data source integration. It is ideal for DevOps Engineers, Site Reliability Engineers (SREs), and Infrastructure Analysts who need to monitor complex systems. With over 150,000 active Grafana Cloud users and adoption by leading tech firms like PayPal and Slack, demand for Grafana-skilled professionals continues to grow across cloud-native environments.
The course covers key components of the LGTM stack—Loki for logs, Grafana for visualization, Tempo for traces, and Mimir for metrics—along with supporting tools like Grafana Alloy, Prometheus, and OpenTelemetry. Students engage in hands-on labs using a preconfigured Docker-based environment where they deploy a full observability stack, connect data sources, build interactive dashboards, and configure unified alerting rules. A key project involves setting up a real-time monitoring solution for a sample application, allowing students to explore metrics, logs, and traces interactively through Explore mode and Drilldown apps, simulating actual operational workflows used in production-grade observability platforms.
This training directly supports certification as a Grafana Certified Associate, a credential recognized across the DevOps and SRE communities for validating practical expertise in modern monitoring practices. Certified professionals report average salary increases of 15–20%, with mid-level roles averaging $110,000 annually in North America. Koenig Solutions enhances learning with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official Grafana courseware, and access to expert instructors for 1-on-1 doubt resolution.
