Course Overview
The Grafana Administration course by Open Source is designed for IT professionals responsible for deploying, securing, and managing Grafana at scale, including DevOps Engineers, Site Reliability Engineers (SREs), and Observability Specialists. This training prepares candidates for the Certified Grafana Associate exam, focusing on core administrative competencies such as user and team management, role-based access control (RBAC), data source provisioning, and system monitoring. With demand for observability skills growing over 35% year-over-year, enterprises increasingly rely on Grafana to unify metrics, logs, and traces across hybrid environments, making certified administrators critical to modern operations.
Participants engage with key technologies including Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, MySQL/PostgreSQL for high-availability backends, Docker, and Kubernetes via Helm. The hands-on lab environment uses Grafana Cloud and local Docker Compose setups to simulate real-world scenarios where students configure unified alerting, manage plugins via grafana-cli, provision dashboards using YAML, and secure instances with LDAP and OAuth integrations. A capstone project involves building a full LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir) to monitor a microservices application, enabling learners to visualize performance data, correlate traces, and set up notification policies using Slack and PagerDuty.
This course directly supports preparation for the globally recognized Certified Grafana Associate certification, which validates expertise in open-source observability and is endorsed by Grafana Labs. Professionals with these skills report median salaries of $110,000 annually, with SRE roles commanding premiums up to 10%. Koenig Solutions enhances learning with Guaranteed-to-Run batches and access to official courseware, ensuring structured, instructor-led mastery of administration workflows. Upon completion, graduates are equipped to lead monitoring initiatives, improve incident response times, and advance into senior platform engineering or cloud operations leadership roles.
