This repository demonstrates how to use Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring an Apache Kafka cluster.
1. Clone the Kafka Monitoring Suite repository.
git clone https://github.com/streamthoughts/kafka-monitoring-suite-demo-prometheus.git
cd kafka-monitoring-suite-demo-prometheus
2. Start Confluent/Kafka cluster.
Deploy Kafka, Prometheus and Grafana services using Docker. Depending on your network speed, this may take few minutes to download all images.
./monitoring-suite-start
3. Create topic.
Create demo-topic
with 6 partitions and 3 replicas.
$KAFKA_HOME/bin/kafka-topics --create --partitions 6 --replication-factor 3 --topic demo-topic
4. Produce messages.
Open a new terminal window, generate some message to simulate producer load.
$KAFKA_HOME/bin/kafka-producer-perf-test \
--topic test \
--num-records 5000\
--record-size 100 \
--throughput -1 \
--producer-props acks=1 \
bootstrap.servers=localhost:9092 \
buffer.memory=67108864 \
batch.size=8196
5. Consume messages.
Open a new terminal window, generate some message to simulate consumer load.
$KAFKA_HOME/bin/kafka-producer-perf-test --throughput 500 --num-records 100000000 --topic demo-topic --record-size 100
6. Open Grafana.
Open your favorite web browser and open provided Grafana dashboard : Kafka Cluster / Global Healthcheck
(see Accessing Grafana Web UI)
7. Stop all containers.
Cleanup all containers.
./monitoring-suite-stop
Grafana is accessible at the address : http://localhost:3000
Security are :
- user :

- password :
kafka
Prometheus is accessible at the address : http://localhost:9090
