Slide 1 of 7

Level 2 overview

Level 2: Service visibility

What you learned in Module 2:

  • Infrastructure visibility is the foundation everyone needs.
  • Multiple ways to work with your data: integrations, send from existing collectors, data sources, cloud providers.
  • Specialized monitoring for databases and Kubernetes.
  • Basic operations: dashboards, alerts, troubleshooting.

What you’ll do in this module:

You’ll shift from infrastructure to services:

  • What problems Level 2 solves — Moving from server-level to service-level thinking
  • Application Observability — RED metrics, service inventory, service graph
  • Knowledge Graph — Understanding entities and relationships
  • Getting instrumented — How to add observability to your applications
  • Operations at Level 2 — Service-level troubleshooting

Estimated time: 10-15 minutes

Script

You’ve learned about Level 1 and the different ways to get infrastructure data into Grafana Cloud. Solid foundation.

Now let’s move to Level 2: Service Visibility. This is where you shift from asking “which server?” to asking “which service?” In this module, you’ll learn what problems Level 2 solves, how Application Observability and Knowledge Graph help you understand services, and how to get your applications instrumented.
