Grafana Knowledge
The only official certification offered by Grafana Labs is the Certified Grafana Associate exam. It is designed to validate a candidate's fundamental knowledge of the Grafana platform as a whole, rather than focusing on a single component like Loki.
The exam's syllabus is divided into several key domains, with a specific topic distribution for each. While the exact weighting can change, the general structure and topics remain consistent.
Syllabus and Topic Distribution
The exam covers four main domains:
Observability Fundamentals (10%): This section tests your understanding of core concepts that underpin the entire Grafana platform and the modern observability stack.
What are the three pillars of observability: metrics, logs, and traces?
Understanding common data sources like Prometheus, Loki, and Tempo.
How to build a simple observability stack.
Grafana Fundamentals (30%): This is the largest and most crucial section, focusing on your ability to navigate and use the Grafana UI and its core features.
Dashboards and Panels: Creating, organizing, and managing dashboards. Understanding different panel types (e.g., graphs, stat panels, tables) and how to configure them.
Data Sources: Connecting Grafana to various data sources.
Variables: Using template variables to create dynamic and interactive dashboards.
Annotations: Adding and using annotations to mark events on dashboards.
Visualizations and Queries (30%): This domain tests your ability to query data from different sources and present it effectively.
Query Languages: Understanding and writing basic queries for common data sources like PromQL (Prometheus), LogQL (Loki), and Flux (InfluxDB).
Transformations: Using data transformations to manipulate data before visualization (e.g., joins, calculations, filters).
Visualization Settings: Configuring axis, thresholds, and other display options to make visualizations clear and meaningful.
Alerting and Administration (30%): This section covers the proactive and administrative aspects of Grafana.
Alerting: Creating and managing alert rules, contact points, and notification policies.
User and Team Management: Understanding user roles, permissions, and how to manage teams and access control.
Configuration: Knowledge of Grafana configuration files and basic administration tasks.
A passing score is typically 75% or higher. The exam is multiple-choice and is administered remotely via a proctor.
