TechWorld with Nana Nice and simple explanation! Subbed 👍

Best introduction on Prometheus. Appreciated!

[@deepakranganathan9644]

@@TechWorldwithNana I have a doubt with respect to Prometheus setup for Django applications. If we have a load balancer which redirects to three application servers where the Django applications are running. Which of these setups will work and is optimally correct? 1. Having Prometheus installed in one of the application servers and then having a job for every Django application we need to monitor and provide all three application server's Django configuration details in the targets entry in prometheus.yml? - One more doubt, in this case, is when the targets are authenticated using OAuth, how can we manage in this scenario? 2. Installing Prometheus on any server and mentioning all the Django applications details in the targets entry in prometheus.yml file? - Do we need to have ssh trust set up in this case when the setup has to be done like this? It will be very helpful if you please give some insights on this. Thanks in advance :)

[@proflanky]

Nana, you're doing a great job. Don't stop what you're doing. This is helping a lot of people.

[@TechWorldwithNana]

Thank you Noah 🙏. 😊

[@JesseSteinfort]

I second this! I'm on my second video and looking forward to more. You have put out great content. Thank you.

[@michaelhughes8413]

Agree with you 💯

[@poefpoef]

The quality of this tutorial is truly excellent. Nana doesn’t jump into solutions, but describes the problem or issue first, consistently. That helps to understand not only the ‘how’, but also the ‘why’ and the ‘what’. In addition, Nana tells a coherent story at the right pace. Kudos for this great video!

[@yapadqoi]

Probably one of the best teachers I've ever had. Wow! In a week-end, I've learned more on DevOps solutions, going through your video series, than I did in months with official documentation and reference manuals. You make things so simple and easy to grasp. Great job! Thank you so much

[@TechWorldwithNana]

That's so amazing to hear! Thank you for taking your time to write such great feedback! Appreciate it 😊

[@yapadqoi]

@@TechWorldwithNana Thank YOU for taking the time to reply back. You didn't have to, but I'm so happy to read it. Keep up the good work!

[@ThaiNguyen-cs3jy]

I'm starting my DevOps career and this is my first-to-go KZbin channel whenever I want to understand the overview and the fundamental knowledge of a DevOps tool. From Vietnam, thank you so much, Nana!

[@RiteshAgarwalGwalior]

Whenever I am looking for something, if it's available on this channel then I do not need to go anywhere else. This channel has the most clear and concise explanation. Thanks, Nana.

[@stvv5546]

First thing I am always doing on Nana videos is click Like button first and only then watch the videos! She absolutely deserves that and never dissapoints!

[@bereketlibanos1787]

Your english is so clear, and easy to understand. A 4 year old would know what you are talking about despite the complexity of the stuff you are teaching. This shows how well you know what you are doing. Keep up the good work.

[@vemareddy007]

~22 min lecture with no need of going backwards to understand !! Very good 👍. Coming to the content crisp and clean, that made it look simple. Good Job.!

[@TechWorldwithNana]

Thanks Vemareddy, glad I could explain it in that simple way 😊 Really appreciate your feedback!

[@markbdsouza]

Just wanted to say this video is brilliant. Ive joined a new team that use Prometheus and Grafana and this video gave me such a good understanding on Prometheus. You are a really good teacher. Keep doing what you do and thank you for your work !!

that's amazing, really great to hear my video helped! 🙌

[@vhpupuyoh]

Thank you very much for very clear explanation. I search for such one and finally find it :-). I'm not a native English speaker so it is hard to find lecturers that talk good English and talk slowly so we can understand without stopping the video every 10 sec. You are talking in very clear manner - please continue like that. I signed up to your channel. Thanks again

[@TechWorldwithNana]

Thanks for this amazing feedback! Really happy to hear :)

[@SamuelTambunan]

It is amazing how you explain it, for me who has no idea what prometheus is and curious in understanding it and where I intent to pick a monitoring tools to implement, I have no trouble in understanding how prometheus works and what value it brings.

ty for this, i learned prometheus a couple years ago and have been somewhat managing it and it was clear to me there was a much easier way to represent that documentation. i think this is great and should sit on the front page of prometheus docs itself.
