Compatibility

Support Apache Kafka version 0.10.1.0 (and later).

Dependency

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

Flag name	Default	Description
kafka.server	kafka:9092	Addresses (host:port) of Kafka server
kafka.version	2.0.0	Kafka broker version
sasl.enabled	false	Connect using SASL/PLAIN
sasl.handshake	true	Only set this to false if using a non-Kafka SASL proxy
sasl.username		SASL user name
sasl.password		SASL user password
sasl.mechanism		SASL mechanism can be plain, scram-sha512, scram-sha256
sasl.service-name		Service name when using Kerberos Auth
sasl.kerberos-config-path		Kerberos config path
sasl.realm		Kerberos realm
sasl.keytab-path		Kerberos keytab file path
sasl.kerberos-auth-type		Kerberos auth type. Either 'keytabAuth' or 'userAuth'
tls.enabled	false	Connect to Kafka using TLS
tls.server-name		Used to verify the hostname on the returned certificates unless tls.insecure-skip-tls-verify is given. The kafka server's name should be given
tls.ca-file		The optional certificate authority file for Kafka TLS client authentication
tls.cert-file		The optional certificate file for Kafka client authentication
tls.key-file		The optional key file for Kafka client authentication
tls.insecure-skip-tls-verify	false	If true, the server's certificate will not be checked for validity
server.tls.enabled	false	Enable TLS for web server
server.tls.mutual-auth-enabled	false	Enable TLS client mutual authentication
server.tls.ca-file		The certificate authority file for the web server
server.tls.cert-file		The certificate file for the web server
server.tls.key-file		The key file for the web server
topic.filter	.*	Regex that determines which topics to collect
topic.exclude	^$	Regex that determines which topics to exclude
group.filter	.*	Regex that determines which consumer groups to collect
group.exclude	^$	Regex that determines which consumer groups to exclude
web.listen-address	:9308	Address to listen on for web interface and telemetry
web.telemetry-path	/metrics	Path under which to expose metrics
log.enable-sarama	false	Turn on Sarama logging
use.consumelag.zookeeper	false	if you need to use a group from zookeeper
zookeeper.server	localhost:2181	Address (hosts) of zookeeper server
kafka.labels		Kafka cluster name
refresh.metadata	30s	Metadata refresh interval
offset.show-all	true	Whether show the offset/lag for all consumer group, otherwise, only show connected consumer groups
concurrent.enable	false	If true, all scrapes will trigger kafka operations otherwise, they will share results. WARN: This should be disabled on large clusters
topic.workers	100	Number of topic workers
verbosity	0	Verbosity log level

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

# HELP kafka_topic_partition_oldest_offset Oldest Offset of a Broker at Topic/Partition
# TYPE kafka_topic_partition_oldest_offset gauge
kafka_topic_partition_oldest_offset{partition="0",topic="__consumer_offsets"} 0

# HELP kafka_topic_partition_in_sync_replica Number of In-Sync Replicas for this Topic/Partition
# TYPE kafka_topic_partition_in_sync_replica gauge
kafka_topic_partition_in_sync_replica{partition="0",topic="__consumer_offsets"} 3

# HELP kafka_topic_partition_leader Leader Broker ID of this Topic/Partition
