Working with Microservices-17: Monitoring and Creating an Alarm with Prometheus and Grafana in the Production Stage

We will run Prometheus and Grafana together, collect metrics of the Kubernetes cluster with them, and set up alarms using these metrics. We will create a Grafana dashboard, and then view and examine these metrics and alarms on Prometheus and Grafana. Also, we will learn to install Prometheus and Grafana by using Helm Chart. We will do these practically step by step in this article.
