Stanislav Kozlovski commented on KAFKA-6809:
--------------------------------------------
Changing them to the first approach (count both inbound/outbound connections)
might mess up some Kafka users' metrics - imagine watching your connections
blow up in numbers over a patch update.
I believe we should separate out the sensors and offer both metrics - inbound,
outbound. This will enable the UIs to provide the three kinds of metrics (in,
out, total).
[~apovzner], what do you think?
> connections-created metric does not behave as expected

> "connections-created" sensor is described as "new connections established".
> It currently records only connections that the broker/client creates, but
> does not count connections received. Seems like we should also count
> connections received – either include them into this metric (and also clarify
> the description) or add a new metric (separately counting two types of
> connections). I am not sure how useful is to separate them, so I think we
> should do the first approach.
