Setup

Overview

Kafka created by Strimzi operator exposes metrics through a Prometheus endpoint that you can scrape. We recommend to scrape and forward these metrics via an OpenTelemetry Collector. The Strimzi Kafka Exporter exposes additional Prometheus metrics.

Prometheus metrics endpoint

The Kafka metrics are exposed via Kafka broker/controller/exporter HTTP endpoints.

Collector Configuration

The following code snippet shows an OpenTelemetry Collector configuration file.

Collector Deployment

Learn how to deploy the collector within our OpenTelemetry collector integration documentation.
