What is the best practice for reporting the lag on individual consumer groups (e.g., to Graphite)?
A recent form post (http://search-hadoop.com/m/4TaT4x9qWm1) seems to indicate that parsing the output of the consumer offset checker tool and reporting that independently is what folks do. Is there a better way? Are there any plans for the Kafka brokers themselves to do this reporting (e.g., the master for each partition reports lag for all of its consumer groups)? Many thanks in advance.
