Course wrap-up

What you learned in Module 1: Metrics Drilldown

  • How Metrics Drilldown organizes data by labels
  • The exploration workflow for investigating metrics
  • Pattern detection in time series visualizations
  • Adding metric findings to dashboards

What you learned in Module 2: Logs Drilldown

  • How Logs Drilldown organizes data with labels and fields
  • The log investigation workflow
  • Pattern recognition for errors and anomalies
  • Adding log visualizations to dashboards

What’s next: Level 2 application observability

This course covered Level 1 infrastructure signals (metrics and logs). The Level 2 course will cover application-level signals that require instrumentation:

  • Grafana Traces Drilldown for investigating distributed request flows and latency
  • Grafana Profiles Drilldown for continuous profiling data
  • Cross-signal correlation workflows connecting all four telemetry types

In this final module, you’ll:

  • See where the Drilldown apps fit in the observability hierarchy
  • Remember when to use visual exploration
  • Find documentation and next steps

Estimated time: 5 minutes

Script

You’ve completed two learning paths and practiced visual exploration for metrics and logs. Excellent work.

In this final module, we’ll review where you are in your observability journey, reinforce the key concepts from both Drilldown apps, and point you to resources for continuing your progress (including the Level 2 course on traces and profiles).
