Kafka Mixin

The Kafka Mixin is a set of configurable, reusable, and extensible dashboards based on the ones discussed on this blog post from Confluent, which are fed by a set of JMX Exporters configured with the config files included in jmx folder, and an additional Lag Overview dashboard based on this Kafka Overview dashboard which is fed by a GoLang based exporter.

This mixin includes the following dashboards: Kafka Overview - Gives an overview of your Kafka cluster resource usage, throughput, and general healthiness kafka-topics - Gives informations about the throughput of specific (filterable) topics Zookeeper Overview - Gives an overview of your Zookeeper nodes resource usage and general healthiness Ksqldb Overview - Gives an overview of your ksqldb cluster as queries resource usage, throughput, and general healthiness Connect Overview - Gives an overview of your Kafka Connect cluster and tasks resource usage, throughput, and general healthiness Schema Registry Overview - Gives an overview of your Kafka Schema Registry cluster resource usage, throughput, and general healthiness Kafka Lag Overview - Gives Lag metrics by time and offset count on topics and partitions of the cluster

To use them, you need to have mixtool and jsonnetfmt installed. If you have a working Go development environment, it's easiest to run the following:

$ go get github.com/monitoring-mixins/mixtool/cmd/mixtool
$ go get github.com/google/go-jsonnet/cmd/jsonnetfmt

You can then build a directory dashboard_out with the JSON dashboard files for Grafana:

$ make build
