FAQs About Grafana Training
Do you have any questions? Here are the most common answers.
How do the online training sessions work from a technical standpoint?
The online training sessions are held via Microsoft Teams. Questions can be asked at any time, either directly to the instructor or conveniently via the chat feature.
- The training session will not be recorded.
- A camera and microphone aren't required—but they're highly recommended for a lively discussion.
- Participation from behind a corporate firewall or via VPN is possible, provided that outbound HTTPS and SSH connections to the NETWAYS systems are permitted.
A technical check is not included as standard, but can be arranged on a case-by-case basis in advance if needed.
What are the technical requirements?
All you need to participate is a modern browser—Firefox, Chrome, Safari, or Edge. You will also need:
- An SSH client
- Direct Internet access (in some courses, also via non-standard ports in addition to HTTP/HTTPS via ports 80/443)
How do the practical exercises work?
The exercises take place on dedicated virtual machines (VMs) in the NETWAYS Web Services training environment. The process follows a set pattern:
- The instructor introduces the topic.
- Participants work independently on practical tasks (e.g., installing or configuring services).
- Afterward, the results will be discussed together and any outstanding questions will be addressed.
There is a sample solution for each exercise in the handout.
Can I continue to use the training environment after the course?
No, the training environment is available only during the course and will no longer be accessible afterward.
