I am trying to send kafka metrics for display to ganglia server using
latest download from https://github.com/adambarthelson/kafka-ganglia.

Here's my kafka_metrics.json
{
  "servers" : [ {
    "port" : "9999",
    "host" : "ecokaf1",
    "queries" : [ {
      "outputWriters" : [ {
        "@class" :
"com.googlecode.jmxtrans.model.output.GangliaWriter",
        "settings" : {
          "groupName" : "kafka stats 2",
          "port" : 8649,
          "host" : "ecokaf1"
        }
      } ],
      "obj" : "kafka.server:type=ReplicaManager,name=PartitionCount",
      "resultAlias": "Kafka.ReplicaManager",
      "attr" : [ "Value" ]
    } ],
    "numQueryThreads" : 2
  } ]
}

I start jmxtrans as follows:
sudo ./jmxtrans.sh start kafka_metrics.json


JMXTrans starts without any issues. Here are the logs:

Does any one spot an issue with the json?

When I add the jvmheapmemory and jvmGC examples to my json, jmxtrans sends
those metrics to Ganglia. Corresponding rrds files are created in ganglia
location and I can see the following in jmxtrans.log:
[05 Nov 2013 00:45:44] [pool-30-thread-1] 1740436 DEBUG
(com.googlecode.jmxtrans.model.output.GangliaWriter:141) - Sending Ganglia
metric heap.HeapMemoryUsage_init=263441792
[05 Nov 2013 00:45:44] [pool-30-thread-2] 1740449 DEBUG
(com.googlecode.jmxtrans.model.output.GangliaWriter:141) - Sending Ganglia
metric GC.PSScavenge.CollectionCount=334

And I know that kafka is publishing jmx metrics because I can see them
using jmxsh-R5 command line tool,

Appreciate any pointers you can provide with regards to kafka.
Thanks,
Priya
