Grafana: Getting started with the Grafana LGTM Stack

Core to getting started with the Grafana LGTM Stack is unraveling the concept of a centralized observability strategy to support modern microservices-based applications. Observability vendors will try to sell you an "everything in my database" mentality. At Grafana Labs, we have a different approach: we want to help you with your observability, not own it. In this webinar, we'll demo all the highlights of the latest in Grafana 9 including new and updated visualizations and themes, and data source improvements. We'll walk you through how to get started with the Grafana LGTM Stack by showing how to set up monitoring for a web service that uses Loki for logs, Grafana for visualization, Tempo for traces, and Mimir for metrics.
