Hi Ravi You’ve probably seen this already but I thought I’d point it out just in case: https://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#monitoring. In our case we are using https://github.com/pingles/kafka-riemann-reporter to send metrics to Riemann but you could get the metrics through JMX to send to your centralised logging system. They wouldn’t be sent per request as I think you’re describing with ActiveMQ however.
Daniel.
