## What it is
A beginner-friendly tutorial repository introducing Prometheus monitoring, covering metrics concepts, Prometheus architecture, metric types, building a simple exporter, and visualizing metrics with Grafana. It has been incorporated into the official Prometheus Docs tutorials.

## Use cases
- learn prometheus monitoring from scratch

- you want a step-by-step tutorial including building an exporter and Grafana dashboards
- you prefer learning with runnable example code alongside explanations

## When to avoid
- you need comprehensive, up-to-date reference documentation - use the official Prometheus docs instead
- you are an advanced user looking for deep PromQL or scaling guidance
- you need a maintained tool rather than educational material

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: monitoring, alerting, developer-tools
- domain: monitoring, tutorials, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
