Motivation
An important part of deploying Kafka Connect is monitoring the health of the workers in a cluster and the connectors and tasks that have been deployed to the cluster. Although producers and consumers used in Kafka Connect can be monitored, the Kafka Connect framework only has a few metrics capturing the number of connectors and tasks for each worker. To augment these existing metrics, we propose to add metrics to monitor more information about the connectors, tasks, and workers. All metrics reported by each worker are scoped by the activities within that worker.
There are several things that are out of scope for this proposal, though they may be addressed in future KIPs. First, this proposal expressly avoids changes to the Connect API, and therefore does not address how connector implementations can define their own connector-specific metrics. Second, Kafka Connect does not have any existing mechanism to aggregate the metrics reported across multiple workers.
Public Interfaces
All of the following will be added via Kafka's metrics library like most of the metrics in the Kafka brokers and other components. The context of all metrics are limited to the worker where the metrics are being reported, and all metrics are defined as attributes on the specified MBean attribute and are measured within the context of a single worker.
Connector Metrics
MBean name: kafka.connect:type=connector-metrics,connector=([-.\w]+)
| Metric/Attribute Name | Description |
|---|---|
| connector-type | The type of the connector, one of: source, sink |
| connector-class | The name of the connector class |
| connector-version | The version of the connector class, as reported by the connector in this worker |
| status | The current status of the connector in this worker, one of: running, paused, stopped |
Common Task Metrics
MBean name: kafka.connect:type=task-metrics,connector=([-.\w]+)
| Metric/Attribute Name | Description |
|---|---|
| status | The current status of this task, one of: unassigned, running, paused, failed, destroyed |
| pause-ratio | The fraction of time this task has spent in the paused state. |

| offset-commit-99p-time | The 99th percentile time spent by this task to commit offsets to Kafka |
| offset-commit-95p-time | The 95th percentile time spent by this task to commit offsets to Kafka |
| offset-commit-90p-time | The 90th percentile time spent by this task to commit offsets to Kafka |
| offset-commit-75p-time | The 75th percentile time spent by this task to commit offsets to Kafka |
| offset-commit-50p-time | The 50th percentile (average) time spent by this task to commit offsets to Kafka |
| batch-size-max | The maximum size of the batches processed by the connector |
| batch-size-avg | The average size of the batches processed by the connector |
Source Task Metrics
MBean name: kafka.connect:type=source-task-metrics,connector=([-.\w]+),task=([\d]+)
| Metric/Attribute Name | Description |
|---|---|
| source-record-poll-rate | The average per-second number of records produced/polled (before transformation) by this task belonging to the named source connector in this worker. This is before transformations are applied. |
| source-record-write-rate | The average per-second number of records output from the transformations and written to Kafka for this task belonging to the named source connector in this worker. This is after transformations are applied. |
Sink Task Metrics
MBean name: kafka.connect:type=sink-task-metrics,connector=([-.\w]+),task=([\d]+)
| Metric/Attribute Name | Description |
|---|---|
| sink-record-read-rate | The average per-second number of records read from Kafka for this task belonging to the named sink connector in this worker. This is before transformations are applied. |
| sink-record-send-rate | The average per-second numbrer of records output from the transformations and sent to this task belonging to the named sink connector in this worker. This is after transformations are applied and excludes any records filtered out by the transformations. |
| sink-record-lag-max | The maximum lag in terms of number of records behind the consumer the offset commits are for any topic partitions. |
| partition-count | The number of topic partitions assigned to this task belonging to the named sink connector in this worker. |
| commit-seq-no | The current sequence number for commits |
| commit-completion-rate | The average per-second number of commit completions that were completed successfully |
| commit-completion-skip-rate | The average per-second number of commit completions that were recieved too late and skipped/ignored |
| offset-commit-max-time | The maximum time taken by this sink task to pre-commit offsets to the sink |
| offset-commit-99p-time | The 99th percentile time spent by this sink task to pre-commit offsets to the sink |
| offset-commit-95p-time | The 95th percentile time spent by this sink task to pre-commit offsets to the sink |
| offset-commit-90p-time | The 90th percentile time spent by this sink task to pre-commit offsets to the sink |
| offset-commit-75p-time | The 75th percentile time spent by this sink task to pre-commit offsets to the sink |
| offset-commit-50p-time | The 50th percentile (average) time spent by this sink task to pre-commit offsets to the sink |
