Course Outline

Introduction to AIOps with Open Source Tools

  • Overview of AIOps concepts and benefits.
  • The role of Prometheus and Grafana within the observability stack.
  • The position of ML in AIOps: predictive versus reactive analytics.

Setting Up Prometheus and Grafana

  • Installing and configuring Prometheus for time series data collection.
  • Creating dashboards in Grafana using real-time metrics.
  • Exploring exporters, relabeling, and service discovery.

Data Preprocessing for ML

  • Extracting and transforming Prometheus metrics.
  • Preparing datasets suitable for anomaly detection and forecasting.
  • Utilizing Grafana’s transformation capabilities or Python pipelines.

Applying Machine Learning for Anomaly Detection

  • Employing basic ML models for outlier detection (e.g., Isolation Forest, One-Class SVM).
  • Training and evaluating models on time series data.
  • Visualizing anomalies within Grafana dashboards.

Forecasting Metrics with ML

  • Constructing simple forecasting models (introduction to ARIMA, Prophet, LSTM).
  • Predicting system load or resource usage.
  • Leveraging predictions for early alerting and scaling decisions.

Integrating ML with Alerting and Automation

  • Defining alert rules based on ML outputs or predefined thresholds.
  • Managing Alertmanager and configuring notification routing.
  • Triggering scripts or automation workflows upon anomaly detection.

Scaling and Operationalizing AIOps

  • Integrating external observability tools (e.g., ELK stack, Moogsoft, Dynatrace).
  • Operationalizing ML models within observability pipelines.
  • Best practices for implementing AIOps at scale.
