Guide to Container Monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana

This project uses a monitoring system to keep track of the health and performance of a multi-container application. It uses Prometheus to collect metrics, Grafana to visualize them, and Alertmanager to send notifications when something goes wrong. Docker Compose makes it easy to run all these components together.
