+# Fix for AutoBalancer Metrics Reporter Issues (#2697)
+
+## Problem Description
+
+The AutoBalancer metrics reporter was experiencing several critical issues after upgrading from version 1.1.2 to 1.4.1:
+
+1. **OutOfOrderSequenceException**: "The broker received an out of order sequence number"
+2. **Missing consumption data curves**: Metrics data gaps causing incomplete monitoring dashboards
+3. **InterruptException during shutdown**: Improper handling of producer flush during shutdown
+4. **Failed to send metrics warnings**: High failure rates in metric transmission
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+### Primary Issue: Missing Producer Idempotence
+The root cause was that the AutoBalancer metrics reporter was configured with:
+- `retries = 5` 
+- `acks = all`
+- **BUT missing `enable.idempotence = true`**
+
+Without idempotence, when the producer retries failed requests, it can send records with sequence numbers that appear out of order to the broker, causing `OutOfOrderSequenceException`.
+
+### Secondary Issues
+1. **Poor error handling**: Generic error logging without differentiating error types
+2. **Improper shutdown**: Not gracefully handling producer flush during shutdown
+3. **No shutdown checks**: Attempting to send metrics even during shutdown
+
+## Solution Implemented
+
+### 1. Enable Producer Idempotence
+```java
+// Enable idempotence to prevent OutOfOrderSequenceException during retries
+setIfAbsent(producerProps, ProducerConfig.ENABLE_IDEMPOTENCE_CONFIG, "true");
+// Increase delivery timeout to handle network issues and retries better
+setIfAbsent(producerProps, ProducerConfig.DELIVERY_TIMEOUT_MS_CONFIG, "120000");
+// Set reasonable request timeout
+setIfAbsent(producerProps, ProducerConfig.REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS_CONFIG, "30000");
+```
+
+### 2. Improved Error Handling
+```java
+// Log different error types with appropriate levels
+if (e instanceof org.apache.kafka.common.errors.OutOfOrderSequenceException) {
+    LOGGER.warn("OutOfOrderSequenceException when sending auto balancer metric (this should be resolved with idempotence enabled): {}", e.getMessage());
+} else if (e instanceof org.apache.kafka.common.errors.NotLeaderOrFollowerException) {
+    LOGGER.warn("NotLeaderOrFollowerException when sending auto balancer metric (transient error): {}", e.getMessage());
+} else if (e instanceof InterruptException) {
+    LOGGER.info("InterruptException when sending auto balancer metric (likely due to shutdown): {}", e.getMessage());
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Graceful Shutdown Process
+```java
+@Override
+public void close() {
+    LOGGER.info("Closing Auto Balancer metrics reporter, id={}.", brokerId);
+    shutdown = true;
+    if (metricsReporterRunner != null) {
+        metricsReporterRunner.interrupt();
+        try {
+            metricsReporterRunner.join(PRODUCER_CLOSE_TIMEOUT.toMillis());
+        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
+            LOGGER.warn("Interrupted while waiting for metrics reporter thread to finish");
+            Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
+        }
+    }
+    if (producer != null) {
+        try {
+            // Try to flush remaining metrics before closing
+            producer.flush();
+        } catch (Exception e) {
+            LOGGER.warn("Failed to flush producer during shutdown: {}", e.getMessage());
+        } finally {
+            producer.close(PRODUCER_CLOSE_TIMEOUT);
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Shutdown Checks in Send Method
+```java
+public void sendAutoBalancerMetric(AutoBalancerMetrics ccm) {
+    if (shutdown) {
+        return; // Don't send metrics if shutting down
+    }
+    // ... rest of method
+}
+```

+# Fix for Issue #2615: Failed to init cert metrics
+
+## Problem
+AutoMQ was failing to initialize certificate metrics with the error:
+```
+java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal base64 character 20
+```
+
+The error occurred in the `S3StreamKafkaMetricsManager.parseCertificates()` method when trying to decode PEM certificate content that contained whitespace characters (spaces, tabs, newlines, carriage returns).
+
+## Root Cause
+The original implementation only removed newlines (`\n`) from the PEM certificate content before Base64 decoding:
+```java
+pemPart.replace("-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----", "").replaceAll("\\n", "")
+```
+
+However, PEM certificates can contain various whitespace characters including:
+- Spaces (ASCII 32)
+- Tabs (ASCII 9) 
+- Carriage returns (ASCII 13)
+- Newlines (ASCII 10)
+
+Character 20 (space) in the error message was causing the Base64 decoder to fail.
+
+## Solution
+### 1. Fixed the PEM parsing logic
+Updated the `parseCertificates()` method to:
+- Remove ALL whitespace characters using `replaceAll("\\s", "")` instead of just newlines
+- Added graceful error handling for both `IllegalArgumentException` (Base64 errors) and `CertificateException` (certificate parsing errors)
+- Changed from fixed array to dynamic List to handle cases where some certificates fail to parse
+- Added proper logging for failed certificate parsing attempts
+
+### 2. Key Changes Made
+**File**: `server-common/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/server/metrics/s3stream/S3StreamKafkaMetricsManager.java`
+
+**Before**:
+```java
+private static X509Certificate[] parseCertificates(String pemContent) throws CertificateException {
+    // ... 
+    byte[] certBytes = Base64.getDecoder().decode(pemPart.replace("-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----", "").replaceAll("\\n", ""));
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+**After**:
+```java
+private static X509Certificate[] parseCertificates(String pemContent) throws CertificateException {
+    // ...
+    String cleanedPemPart = pemPart.replace("-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----", "")
+            .replaceAll("\\s", ""); // Remove all whitespace characters
+
+    try {
+        byte[] certBytes = Base64.getDecoder().decode(cleanedPemPart);
+        // ...
+    } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
+        LOGGER.warn("Failed to decode certificate part due to invalid Base64, skipping: {}", e.getMessage());
+    } catch (CertificateException e) {
+        LOGGER.warn("Failed to parse certificate, skipping: {}", e.getMessage());
+    }
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Added Comprehensive Tests
+Created `S3StreamKafkaMetricsManagerTest.java` with tests for:
+- Empty certificate content
+- Certificates with various whitespace issues (spaces, tabs, carriage returns)
+- Invalid Base64 content
+- Graceful error handling
+
+## Impact
+- **Fixes the crash**: AutoMQ will no longer crash when initializing certificate metrics with whitespace-containing PEM content
+- **Robust error handling**: Invalid certificates are now skipped with appropriate logging instead of causing complete failure
+- **Backward compatible**: The fix doesn't break existing functionality
+- **Better logging**: Administrators can now see which certificates failed to parse and why
+
+## Testing
+- All existing tests continue to pass
+- New tests verify the fix handles whitespace correctly
+- Tested with various certificate formats and edge cases
+
+This fix resolves the "Illegal base64 character 20" error reported in issue #2615 and makes the certificate parsing more robust overall.
