Kafka Monitoring

[#1]

Wondering if anyone has any tools they use for monitoring Kafka besides Ambari Metrics and Yammer Metrics. For example:

https://github.com/damienclaveau/kafka-graphite

Wondering if we advise customers to create their own monitoring through Yammer Metrics or if there are other tools that we utilize or recommend.

Many thanks,

Chris

Kafka and JMX integrates well. Please see this https://community.hortonworks.com/articles/550/unofficial-storm-and-kafka-best-practices-guide.html

I'm using kafka-graphite now (still exploring it. :] ).

I'm also using grafana to fetch the graphs from graphite. 🙂 http://docs.grafana.org
