Description

Introduction:
VictoriaMetrics, known for its efficiency in handling large-scale time-series data, can be even more powerful when integrated with Prometheus, a leading open-source monitoring and alerting toolkit. By combining VictoriaMetrics’ high-performance storage engine with Prometheus’ flexible metrics collection and query capabilities, organizations can achieve a scalable, cost-effective, and reliable solution for managing time-series data. This training focuses on how to integrate VictoriaMetrics with Prometheus to enhance metrics collection, reduce storage costs, and optimize query performance. Participants will learn how to configure the integration, set up data pipelines, and ensure seamless data flow between Prometheus and VictoriaMetrics for improved monitoring and alerting.

Prerequisites:
