Kafka exporter for Prometheus. For other metrics from Kafka, have a look at the JMX exporter.

Table of Contents

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 ...]

Run Docker Compose

make a docker-compose.yml flie

services:
  kafka-exporter:
    image: danielqsj/kafka-exporter 
    command: ["--kafka.server=kafka:9092", "[--kafka.server=another-server ...]"]
    ports:
      - 9308:9308     

then run it

docker-compose up -d

Flags

This image is configurable using different flags

Flag nameDefaultDescription
kafka.serverkafka:9092Addresses (host:port) of Kafka server
kafka.version2.0.0Kafka broker version
sasl.enabledfalseConnect using SASL/PLAIN

sasl.realmKerberos realm
sasl.keytab-pathKerberos keytab file path
sasl.kerberos-auth-typeKerberos auth type. Either 'keytabAuth' or 'userAuth'
tls.enabledfalseConnect to Kafka using TLS
tls.server-nameUsed to verify the hostname on the returned certificates unless tls.insecure-skip-tls-verify is given. The kafka server's name should be given

server.tls.ca-fileThe certificate authority file for the web server
server.tls.cert-fileThe certificate file for the web server
server.tls.key-fileThe 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:9308Address to listen on for web interface and telemetry
web.telemetry-path/metricsPath under which to expose metrics
log.enable-saramafalseTurn on Sarama logging
use.consumelag.zookeeperfalseif you need to use a group from zookeeper
zookeeper.serverlocalhost:2181Address (hosts) of zookeeper server
kafka.labelsKafka cluster name
refresh.metadata30sMetadata refresh interval
offset.show-alltrueWhether show the offset/lag for all consumer group, otherwise, only show connected consumer groups
concurrent.enablefalseIf true, all scrapes will trigger kafka operations otherwise, they will share results. WARN: This should be disabled on large clusters
topic.workers100Number of topic workers
verbosity0Verbosity 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
