Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.

Monitoring containerised apps creates a whole new set of challenges that traditional monitoring systems struggle with.

After this talk, you'll be able to use Prometheus to monitor your microservices on a Kubernetes cluster.

During Brice's talk you will learn about:

• An introduction to Kubernetes to manage containers;

• The monitoring maturity model;

• Monitoring with Prometheus;

• Using PromQL (the Prometheus Query Language) to monitor your app in a dynamic system.
