Pulling metrics for kafka using Prometheus

[chary1112004]

Hi,

We are trying to pull metric using prometheus. There is example for pod monitor in https://github.com/strimzi/strimzi-kafka-operator/blob/main/examples/metrics/prometheus-install/strimzi-pod-monitor.yaml

However after checking through pods, we do not see port tcp-prometheus. Does it requires to enable or added configuration in kafka operator and kafka cluster to expose metrics?

Any suggestion to resolve this issue would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

You need to enable the Prometheus metrics in the Strimzi custom resources (e.g. in the Kafka one for Kafka and ZooKeeper etc.) using the metricsConfig options: https://strimzi.io/docs/operators/latest/full/configuring.html#con-common-configuration-prometheus-reference ... you can also check the examples on GitHUb: https://github.com/strimzi/strimzi-kafka-operator/tree/main/examples/metrics

Hi @scholzj,

Thank you for the response. Follow this configuration https://github.com/strimzi/strimzi-kafka-operator/blob/main/examples/metrics/kafka-metrics.yaml then I could see data in grafana dashboard.

Thanks!
