It’s easy to run new and old applications in Docker, but you can’t put containerized apps into production without monitoring. In this course, Monitoring Containerized Application Health with Docker, you’ll learn how to implement effective monitoring for Linux and Windows containers. First, you’ll learn how to gather and visualize metrics from containers using Prometheus and Grafana. Next, you’ll see how to add metrics to your application, and export metrics from the Java and .NET runtimes and from the Docker platform. Finally, you’ll explore how to build an effective dashboard with a single view over the health of your whole application. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll be ready to add monitoring to your application and move confidently to production.
