A Prometheus exporter written in Go that exposes Apache Kafka metrics such as broker, topic, and consumer group statistics over HTTP. It is typically deployed as a Docker container or binary alongside Prometheus and Grafana for Kafka monitoring.
Use cases
- monitor kafka cluster metrics with prometheus
- export kafka consumer group lag to prometheus
- track kafka topic and broker metrics
- set up grafana dashboards for kafka monitoring
- alert on kafka consumer lag
- scrape kafka metrics endpoint on port 9308
When to choose
- you need Kafka consumer group lag and topic metrics in Prometheus
- you want a lightweight standalone exporter rather than JMX-based collection
- you run Kafka 0.10.1.0 or later and use Prometheus/Grafana
When to avoid
- you need broker JVM or internal JMX metrics (use the JMX exporter instead)
- you don't use Prometheus or a Prometheus-compatible monitoring stack
