Support Apache Kafka version 0.10.1.0 (and later).

Dependency

• Prometheus
• Sarama
• Golang

Download

Binary can be downloaded from Releases page.

Compile

Build Binary

make

Build Docker Image

make docker

Docker Hub Image

docker pull danielqsj/kafka-exporter:latest

It can be used directly instead of having to build the image yourself. (Docker Hub danielqsj/kafka-exporter)

Run

Run Binary

kafka_exporter --kafka.server=kafka:9092 [--kafka.server=another-server ...]

Run Docker Image

docker run -ti --rm -p 9308:9308 danielqsj/kafka-exporter --kafka.server=kafka:9092 [--kafka.server=another-server ...]

Flags

This image is configurable using different flags

Notes

Boolean values are uniquely managed by Kingpin. Each boolean flag will have a negative complement: --<name> and --no-<name>.

For example:

If you need to disable sasl.handshake, you could add flag --no-sasl.handshake

Consumer Groups

Metrics details

Important Note

To be able to collect the metrics kafka_consumergroupzookeeper_lag_zookeeper, you must set the following flags:

• use.consumelag.zookeeper: enable collect consume lag from zookeeper
• zookeeper.server: address for connection to zookeeper

Metrics output example

# HELP kafka_consumergroup_current_offset Current Offset of a ConsumerGroup at Topic/Partition
# TYPE kafka_consumergroup_current_offset gauge
kafka_consumergroup_current_offset{consumergroup="KMOffsetCache-kafka-manager-3806276532-ml44w",partition="0",topic="__consumer_offsets"} -1

# HELP kafka_consumergroup_lag Current Approximate Lag of a ConsumerGroup at Topic/Partition
# TYPE kafka_consumergroup_lag gauge
kafka_consumergroup_lag{consumergroup="KMOffsetCache-kafka-manager-3806276532-ml44w",partition="0",topic="__consumer_offsets"} 1
