Help with Kafka monitoring for kraft based deployment

[orbi-ci-bot]

I have created a strimzi-kafka cluster with Kraft but have been struggling with monitoring. I used the manifests in the examples folder and added the dashboards but I do not see any data in the dashboards. Any documentation on how to set this up? The Kafka Exporter one seems to be working fine.

There is metrics documentation in our docs that you can check if you configured the metrics properly. But the scraping of the metrics is a task of your monitoring stack (e.g. your Prometheus installation). So you need to check with that how to configure it to scrape the metrics. There are same examples in our examples and docs, but it might differ depending on your setup, so you need to start there.

I tried but I am unable to see any data in these pages

May I know what config pushes the data here to these dashboards?

kafka-exporter is fine, I can see the lag and consumer groups just fine.

As I just told you, nobody pushes the metrics anywhere. Your Prometheus or whatever you use for metrics scrapes them. You have to configure it to scrape them from the Kafka pods.

Hi, Sorry for the delayed response. I tried a few things but the Data just isn't getting collected. Any idea where do I need to check?I am using Prometheus with the manifest files from the Github repo examples
