Apache Kafka by JMX
Overview
This template is designed for the effortless deployment of Apache Kafka monitoring by Zabbix via JMX and doesn't require any external scripts.
Requirements
Zabbix version: 7.0 and higher.
Tested versions
This template has been tested on:
- Apache Kafka 2.6.0
Configuration
Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the Templates out of the box section.
Setup
Metrics are collected by JMX.
- Enable and configure JMX access to Apache Kafka. See documentation for instructions.
- Set the user name and password in host macros {$KAFKA.USER} and {$KAFKA.PASSWORD}.

Triggers
| Name | Description | Expression | Severity | Dependencies and additional info |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apache Kafka: Unclean leader election detected | Unclean leader elections occur when there is no qualified partition leader among Kafka brokers. If Kafka is configured to allow an unclean leader election, a leader is chosen from the out-of-sync replicas, and any messages that were not synced prior to the loss of the former leader are lost forever. Essentially, unclean leader elections sacrifice consistency for availability. |

Average | |
| Apache Kafka: There are offline log directories | The offline log directory count metric indicate the number of log directories which are offline (due to a hardware failure for example) so that the broker cannot store incoming messages anymore. |

Warning | |
| Apache Kafka: One or more partitions have no leader | Any partition without an active leader will be completely inaccessible, and both consumers and producers of that partition will be blocked until a leader becomes available. |

Warning | |
| Apache Kafka: Request handler average idle percent is too low | The request handler idle ratio metric indicates the percentage of time the request handlers are not in use. The lower this number, the more loaded the broker is. |

Warning | |
| Apache Kafka: There are partitions under the min ISR | The Under min ISR partitions metric displays the number of partitions, where the number of In-Sync Replicas (ISR) is less than the minimum number of in-sync replicas specified. The two most common causes of under-min ISR partitions are that one or more brokers is unresponsive, or the cluster is experiencing performance issues and one or more brokers are falling behind. |

Average | |
| Apache Kafka: There are under replicated partitions | The Under replicated partitions metric displays the number of partitions that do not have enough replicas to meet the desired replication factor. A partition will also be considered under-replicated if the correct number of replicas exist, but one or more of the replicas have fallen significantly behind the partition leader. The two most common causes of under-replicated partitions are that one or more brokers is unresponsive, or the cluster is experiencing performance issues and one or more brokers have fallen behind. |
