KafkaConnector Debezium Postgres connector metrics

[raj-saxena]

Hi,

We are using Debezium Postgres source connectors in our setup that providers JMX metrics. We were hoping to be able to configure a jmxPrometheusExporter just like how we can for other Strimzi entities like KafkaConnect but this property doesn't exists in the spec.

I believe that the property doesn't exist because not all connectors support JMX.

Any advice on how we can export Prometheus metrics for our connectors?

If it matters, we are mostly interested in the java.* & jvm.* metrics to tune the resource usage.

KafkaConnector does not result in any JVM or Pod to be started. It is just an object inside the Kafka Connect cluster. So the metrics are configured in the KafkaConnect custom resource.

Ah, you are right. The actual pods are created from spec.template.pod config of KafkaConnect.
Thanks for the quick reply.
