Hi, I would like to start a new discussion thread on KIP-714: Client metrics and observability.
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-714%3A+Client+metrics+and+observability I have edited the proposal significantly to reduce the scope. The overall mechanism for client metric subscriptions is unchanged, but the KIP is now based on the existing client metrics, rather than introducing new metrics. The purpose remains helping cluster operators investigate performance problems experienced by clients without requiring changes to the client application code or configuration. Thanks, Andrew
