What you will learn

  • Protect row identity and measurement semantics.
  • Design independent display, configuration, and alert contracts.

  1. Transformations, joins, and order

    Review panel transformations as an ordered data program, with explicit keys, output shape, missing rows, and limitations for server-side consumers.

    Start learning

  2. Field overrides, mappings, and thresholds

    Target presentation rules to the intended fields and distinguish display mappings and thresholds from source conversion, authorization, and alert evaluation.

    Start learning

  3. Dashboard JSON, provisioning, and identity

    Review dashboard configuration as versioned state with stable UIDs, local identifiers, data-source mappings, and a deliberate source-of-truth policy.

    Start learning

  4. Explore and cross-signal investigation

    Use ad hoc query and inspection workflows to narrow a question while preserving source identity, time, access, and the different populations of metrics, logs, and traces.

    Start learning

  5. Alert queries, expressions, and instances

    Define a supported alert measurement independently of panel formatting, with explicit query references, reduction, label identity, timing, and no-data policy.

  6. Contact points, policies, and notification scope

    Review how alert instances reach contact points through label policies, grouping, timing, templates, and the selected Alertmanager boundary.
