IGNITE: Observability with Grafana & Prometheus for Kafka on Kubernetes (CFK)
summary
Confluent for Kubernetes (CFK) automatically exposes Jolokia JMX endpoint and Prometheus scrape targets and generates Prometheus‑compatible YAML so a Helm‑deployed Prometheus + Grafana stack can ingest Kafka JVM and topic metrics with no manual JMX wiring. Dashboards for brokers, zookeepers, connect workers, topics and consumer lag are provided as JSON to upload into Grafana, Grafana commonly listens on port 3000. Setup works out of the box and links to GitHub/docs supply the exact manifests and dashboards.
