What You'll Learn: ✅ How to monitor Apache, MySQL, and system-level metrics in real time ✅ How to deploy Metricbeat agents on app and DB servers ✅ How to visualize everything in beautiful Kibana dashboards ✅ How to simulate load and validate that your stack can handle real-world traffic No expensive tools.
