Hands-On Monitoring and Alerting with Prometheus - Build Resilient Real-time Monitoring and Alerting Systems Using Prometheus PromQL and Proven Best Practices for Modern Infrastructure

Muhammad Badawy

Sinopsis

Build reliable, scalable monitoring and alerting systems with Prometheus, PromQL, and real-world demos
Book Description
Prometheus has emerged as the leading open-source monitoring solution for building resilient, observable systems, and Hands-On Monitoring and Alerting with Prometheus shows you exactly how to utilize its full potential.
The book begins with the fundamentals of modern monitoring and the core architecture of Prometheus. Through hands-on labs, you’ll master Prometheus service discovery, labeling, and relabeling to organize metrics at scale.
Whether you are collecting metrics from Linux machines, Windows servers, Docker containers, or databases, this book equips you with practical skills through real-world examples and tutorials. You will learn how to install and configure Prometheus, use its service discovery features, label and relabel metrics, and build powerful queries using PromQL - all leading to actionable insights through alerts and dashboards.
You’ll configure alerts and Alertmanager integrations, apply advanced techniques, and put everything together with real-world applications. Each chapter builds practical skills so you can confidently design and operate a robust observability stack.
Whether you're a DevOps engineer, SRE, or system architect, this book is your gateway to production-grade monitoring. Don’t just collect metrics—turn them into action with Prometheus today.

Thermal and Statistical Physics...

Mark Hedges

This bundle explores the fundamental concepts of thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and the fascinating world of chaos and nonlinear dynamics. Thermodynamics examines the principles governing heat, energy, and work within systems, emphasizing the laws of energy conservation, entropy, and the transformation of matter. This book also delves into statistical mechanics, providing insight into how microscopic interactions of particles give rise to macroscopic phenomena like temperature, pressure, and volume. Understanding these principles is key to unraveling the behavior of systems in equilibrium and those far from it. 
The study of chaos and nonlinear dynamics extends these ideas by focusing on systems that exhibit sensitive dependence on initial conditions, where small changes can lead to drastically different outcomes. This text bridges the gap between predictable and unpredictable phenomena, exploring how randomness and disorder emerge in physical systems. The principles outlined have profound implications across many fields, from thermodynamic engines and material science to weather patterns and biological systems. This book offers a comprehensive overview of how heat, disorder, and randomness govern both natural and engineered systems, making complex processes understandable through the lens of statistical physics.

Take a voyage into space to explore the wonders of the galaxy and beyond.

With award-winning science writer Brian Clegg as your deep space guide, step on board the starship Endurance and marvel at the fascinating sights of deepest, darkest space.

Although our vessel is fictional, the phenomena you will visit, from the vast nebulae that are birthplaces of stars to stellar explosions in vast supernovas, creating the elements necessary for life - or from the planets of other solar systems to the unbelievably supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way - all reflect the best picture current science has to offer.

Accompanying Interstellar Tours is an online gallery with over fifty images and videos in full colour, each directly accessible from the page using QR codes.

It may never be possible to undertake a voyage through the stars for real. But with Interstellar Tours, you can enjoy the ultimate cruise across the Milky Way.

Target Earth - Meteorites...

Govert Schilling

An acclaimed science writer tells the story of cosmic projectiles that may be on a collision course with our Earth. 
 
 
 
The impact of an asteroid led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Could another giant cosmic missile soon be heading our way? In Target Earth, acclaimed Dutch astronomy writer Govert Schilling provides a full account of what we know, and need to know, about all the extraterrestrial matter constantly bombarding our planet—from microscopic dust particles and space debris to massive meteorites, comets, and asteroids. 
 
 
 
Drawing upon the latest scientific discoveries, Schilling explores virtually every aspect of cosmic impacts—from small meteorites to devastating collisions, from the craters that marked our planet's surface to the impacts that left their mark on other celestial bodies, and from searches for near-miss lumps of rock to ways of protecting humanity from an assault from the cosmos. Along the way, he considers near misses in the past and the possibility of others in the future and ponders the positive side of these visitations from space: If our planet had not been the target of cosmic rubble from its very formation, life on Earth would likely never have gotten started.
