Ray Chiang updated KAFKA-2569: ------------------------------ Component/s: metrics > Kafka should write its metrics to a Kafka topic > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-2569 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2569 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: metrics > Reporter: James Cheng > Priority: Major > > Kafka is often used to hold and transport monitoring data. > In order to monitor Kafka itself, Kafka currently exposes many metrics via > JMX, which require using a tool to pull the JMX metrics, and then write them > to the monitoring system. > It would be convenient if Kafka could simply send its metrics to a Kafka > topic. This would make most sense if the Kafka topic was in a different Kafka > cluster, but could still be useful even if it was sent to a topic in the same > Kafka cluster. > Of course, if sent to the same cluster, it would not be accessible if the > cluster itself was down. > This would allow monitoring of Kafka itself without requiring people to set > up their own JMX-to-monitoring-system pipelines. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
