Kafka producer metricset
editKafka producer metricset
editThis functionality is in beta and is subject to change. The design and code is less mature than official GA features and is being provided as-is with no warranties. Beta features are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.
This metricset periodically fetches JMX metrics from Kafka Producers implemented in java and expose JMX metrics through jolokia agent.
Compatibility
editThe module has been tested with Kafka 2.1.1. Other versions are expected to work.
Usage
editThe Producer metricset requires Jolokiato fetch JMX metrics. Refer to the link for more information about Jolokia.
Note that the Jolokia agent is required to be deployed along with the JVM application. This can be achieved by
using the KAFKA_OPTS
environment variable when starting the Kafka producer application:
export KAFKA_OPTS=-javaagent:/opt/jolokia-jvm-1.5.0-agent.jar=port=8775,host=localhost ./bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --topic test --broker-list localhost:9091
Then it will be possible to collect the JMX metrics from localhost:8775
.
This is a default metricset. If the host module is unconfigured, this metricset is enabled by default.

editFor a description of each field in the metricset, see the exported fields section.
