Motivation

kafka is an excellent MQ running on JVM,  but no exporters JVMly. for a better future of  Kafka-Ecosystems
the Apache needs a formal exporter like https://github.com/apache/kafka-exporter.
i wrote one for working, and hope to give to Apache. there are a lot of metric in JMX, it can be configed in the exporter-config.

How to use it?

• a normal prometheus exporter interface

Proposed Changes

build a new kafka-exporter RUN-ON-JVM for kafka

Compatibility, Deprecation, and Migration Plan

• What impact (if any) will there be on existing users?
• If we are changing behavior how will we phase out the older behavior?
• If we need special migration tools, describe them here.
• When will we remove the existing behavior?

Rejected Alternatives

If there are alternative ways of accomplishing the same thing, what were they? The purpose of this section is to motivate why the design is the way it is and not some other way.
