Presentation #1 description: Beyond dashboarding : The Grafana Observability Stack
Most people know Grafana for its visualization and dashboarding capabilities. Since its beginnings, it has grown to become the de-facto standard open source visualization for cloud-native observability. But there's more to the Grafana ecosystem: an entire MLT (metrics-logs-traces) observability stack now expanding beyond the three pillars.
In this session, we will introduce the Grafana open source observability stack, what it is about, architecture, deployment models with a short demo.

Presentation #2 description: How to Monitor Anything with Prometheus Exporters
In this talk, we'll learn all about Prometheus Exporters are, and how to write your own for monitoring anything you can think of!
