Monitoring Infrastructure and Network Functions with Prometheus
This hands-on training introduces users to the core principles and practical applications of monitoring telecom infrastructure and network functions using Prometheus. Tailored for TelcoCloud environments, the lab equips learners with the skills to collect, visualize, and analyze key metrics across distributed systems. Participants will learn how to deploy and configure Prometheus for scalable monitoring, use exporters to gather metrics from various telecom components, and set up effective alerting mechanisms.

Lab Architecture
The lab architecture seamlessly integrates Prometheus with a range of exporters to create a comprehensive monitoring environment for infrastructure and network functions. It includes a Prometheus server that collects metrics from Linux hosts and Telco workloads using the Node Exporter. A 5G core simulation is instrumented to expose real-time service metrics, while Grafana provides a lightweight visualization layer to observe system behavior and validate alerting strategies.
Why this Lab ?
Gain practical skills in monitoring and observability with this hands-on lab centered on Prometheus. Learn to collect and analyze infrastructure and network function metrics, write PromQL queries, and configure alerts to ensure system reliability. From Linux hosts to 5G workloads, you'll explore real-world use cases and exporters, while Grafana is introduced to help visualize key metrics at the end.
