Build a complete, production-ready observability platform with Grafana 13 and the modern Grafana ecosystem.
Grafana Observability in Practice is a hands-on guide to designing, deploying, securing, and operating full-stack monitoring platforms for modern applications, Kubernetes clusters, cloud services, databases, networks, and AI infrastructure.
Instead of treating dashboards, logs, metrics, traces, and profiles as separate tools, this book shows you how to combine them into one practical operating system for reliability engineering.
You will learn how to:
- Deploy and secure Grafana 13 with PostgreSQL, TLS, OAuth/OIDC, RBAC, backups, and high availability
- Build production metrics pipelines with Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, Grafana Alloy, and Grafana Mimir
- Centralize and query logs with Loki and LogQL
- Instrument distributed applications with OpenTelemetry and investigate traces with Tempo and TraceQL
- Diagnose CPU, memory, allocation, and code-level performance problems with Pyroscope
- Correlate metrics, logs, traces, profiles, deployments, and incidents in Grafana
- Monitor Kubernetes clusters, Linux systems, Docker workloads, databases, networks, cloud services, and GPUs
- Implement zero-code application observability with Grafana Beyla and eBPF
- Capture frontend errors, Web Vitals, sessions, and user journeys with Grafana Faro
- Create synthetic checks and performance tests with Grafana k6
- Design actionable alerts, SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, and multi-window burn-rate alerts
- Build on-call, escalation, incident-response, and post-incident workflows
- Manage dashboards, alerts, collectors, and platform configuration with Git Sync, Terraform, Helm, Argo CD, Flux, and CI/CD
- Control telemetry cardinality, retention, storage, and cost
- Use Grafana Assistant and the Grafana MCP server through controlled, human-approved AI workflows
- Test upgrades, backups, scaling, failover, disaster recovery, and production readiness
Every chapter follows a practical engineering workflow:
WHY → HOW → IMPLEMENT → BREAK IT → FIX IT → VALIDATE IT
You will not only deploy the platform—you will deliberately break application services, telemetry pipelines, databases, collectors, trace propagation, storage access, dashboards, and alert routes. You will then diagnose the failures using correlated telemetry, recover the environment, and confirm that reliability has been restored.
The final capstone brings everything together into a complete Kubernetes-hosted observability platform with Grafana, Alloy, Mimir, Loki, Tempo, Pyroscope, OpenTelemetry, Beyla, Faro, k6, PostgreSQL, GitOps, SLOs, incident response, cost governance, and AI-assisted investigation.
This book is ideal for:
- DevOps and platform engineers
- Site reliability engineers
- Cloud and Kubernetes administrators
- Observability engineers
- Backend and application developers
- Infrastructure and network engineers
- Technical leads building internal monitoring platforms
- Homelab and self-hosting professionals moving toward production-grade operations
Whether you are replacing fragmented monitoring tools, modernizing a Prometheus deployment, building an LGTM stack, or creating an enterprise observability platform, Grafana Observability in Practice gives you the architecture, implementation patterns, troubleshooting methods, and operational discipline needed to build a platform that is secure, scalable, recoverable, cost-aware, and ready for production.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
