The easiest way to grab monitoring data is via the NiFi REST API.  Also everything in the NiFi UI is done through REST calls which you can call programmatically.   Please read the NiFi docs they are linked directly from your running NiFi application or on the web.   They are very thorough and have all the information you could want:   https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/.   If you are not running NiFi 1.11.4, I recommend you please upgrade.   This is supported by Cloudera on multiple platforms.   NiFi Rest API https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/rest-api/   There's also an awesome Python wrapper for that REST API:  https://pypi.org/project/nipyapi/   Also in NiFi flow programming, every time you produce data to Kafka you get metadata back in FlowFile Attributes.   You can push those attributes directly to a kafka topic if you want.   So after your PublishKafkaRecord_2_0 1.11.4 so for success read the attributes on # of record and other data then AttributesToJson and push to another topic.   you may want a mergerecord in there to aggregate a few of those together.   If you are interested in Kafka metrics/record counts/monitoring then you must use Cloudera Streams Messaging Manager, it provides a full Web UI, Monitoring Tool, Alerts, REST API and everything you need for monitoring every producer, consumer, broker, cluster, topic, message, offset and Kafka component.   The best way to get NiFi stats is to use the NiFi Reporting Tasks, I like the SQL Reporting task.   SQL Reporting Tasks are very powerful and use standard SELECT * FROM JVM_METRICS style reporting, see my article: https://www.datainmotion.dev/2020/04/sql-reporting-task-for-cloudera-flow.html   Monitoring Articles   https://www.datainmotion.dev/2019/04/monitoring-number-of-of-flow-files.html https://www.datainmotion.dev/2019/03/apache-nifi-operations-and-monitoring.html   Other Resources https://www.datainmotion.dev/2019/10/migrating-apache-flume-flows-to-apache_9.html https://www.datainmotion.dev/2019/08/using-cloudera-streams-messaging.html https://dev.to/tspannhw/apache-nifi-and-nifi-registry-administration-3c92 https://dev.to/tspannhw/using-nifi-cli-to-restore-nifi-flows-from-backups-18p9 https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/toolkit-guide.html https://www.datainmotion.dev/p/links.html https://www.tutorialspoint.com/apache_nifi/apache_nifi_monitoring.htm https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Community-Articles/Building-a-Custom-Apache-NiFi-Operations-Dashboard-Part-1/ta-p/249060 https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/components/org.apache.nifi/nifi-metrics-reporting-nar/1.11.4/org.apache.nifi.metrics.reporting.task.MetricsReportingTask/ https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/components/org.apache.nifi/nifi-scripting-nar/1.11.4/org.apache.nifi.reporting.script.ScriptedReportingTask/index.html   ...
