Conduktor offers real-time statistics that provide insights into the most important Kafka metrics. Graph You can then set up alerts to get notified about the metrics that matter to you.
Use the Insights dashboard to identify infrastructure risks related to replication factors, partition distribution, and data skew across your topics.

Prerequisite

Deploy and configure Cortex to enable monitoring and seamlessly integrate it with your existing systems.

Ops monitoring

Operations monitoring enhances understanding of your Kafka infrastructure health, allowing you to monitor:
  • cluster health state,
  • partitions health state,
  • topic activity, storage,
  • and more.

Application monitoring

Application monitoring enhances your understanding of your Kafka applications, by monitoring:
  • consumer group states and
  • consumer group lag

Troubleshoot

This happens because of automatic time interval increases for performance optimization:
  • 30 day views use eight hour step intervals
  • 7 day views use two hour step intervals
  • Shorter views use smaller step intervals
When brief (lasting a few minutes) spikes occur within these larger time intervals, they are averaged and become invisible in the graph visualization. For example, a five minute data spike will be averaged across a two or eight hour window, making it appear as zero or negligible in the graph.Workaround: use Grafana with a custom PromQL query to get higher resolution:
This shows data over a 30 day range with one minute step intervals, ensuring that brief spikes are not averaged.
Using high-resolution queries may impact performance. Assess the performance trade-offs in your own Grafana instance and adjust the range/step size accordingly.
