FAQ on Kafka Monitoring

What is Kafka monitoring and why is it important?

Kafka monitoring is the process of tracking logs, metrics, and performance data from Apache Kafka clusters. It helps engineers detect consumer lag, broker issues, and message delays before they cause downtime. Without proper Kafka monitoring, businesses risk data loss, performance bottlenecks, and costly outages.

Which Kafka metrics should I monitor?

Some of the most critical Kafka metrics include:

  1. Consumer lag (ensures messages are consumed on time)
  2. Partition health (checks data distribution and replication)
  3. Broker availability (monitors uptime and performance)
  4. Throughput & latency (measures message flow efficiency)
  5. Disk usage & I/O (prevents storage bottlenecks)

Tracking these ensures stable performance and healthy clusters.
