Self-Hosted Observability in Action is the complete, hands-on guide to building a modern observability stack with Prometheus, Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir, and OpenTelemetry . Designed for DevOps engineers, SREs, and homelab builders, this book shows you how to take control of metrics, logs, and traces-without depending on costly SaaS platforms. From fundamentals to full-stack automation, every chapter includes practical labs and real-world configurations. You will learn how to: Deploy Prometheus for metrics collection, service discovery, and Alertmanager integration. Centralize logs with Loki and Promtail , including pipelines, JSON/regex parsing, and multi-tenancy. Capture distributed traces with Tempo , ingest via OpenTelemetry, and correlate requests across services. Build dashboards and alerts in Grafana , connecting metrics, logs, and traces into one workflow. Automate deployment with Docker Compose, Ansible, and Kubernetes Helm charts for reproducibility and scale. Implement HA, retention, and storage backends using MinIO and S3-compatible object stores. Advance your stack with GitOps, security hardening, and AI/ML-driven anomaly detection . What makes this book different? Purely hands-on - every section ends with a Practice Lab to reinforce concepts. Covers modern 2025+ observability tools with updated syntax, configs, and best practices. Includes a capstone project : deploy a complete self-hosted observability environment, ready for production. Provides appendices with cheat sheets for PromQL, LogQL, Tempo pipelines, Grafana provisioning, IaC snippets, and troubleshooting. By the end of this book, you'll have a fully operational, self-hosted observability platform -scalable, cost-efficient, and entirely under your control. Whether you're running production Kubernetes clusters, automating cloud workloads, or experimenting in a homelab, this guide gives you the tools to master modern observability on your own terms. Own your telemetry. Control your costs. Build your future-ready observability stack.
