AWS MSK Network Availability Test
This test reports the network availability for the broker to execute the Kafka messaging services.
Target of the test : AWS Managed Service Kafka
Agent deploying the test : A remote agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for the target AWS Managed Service Kafka server.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
Test Period |
How often should the test be executed. |
|
Host |
The IP address of the AWS Managed Service Kafka Broker that is being monitored. |
|
Port |
Specify the port number at which the specified HOST listens. By default, this is NULL. |
|
AWS Default Region |
This test uses AWS CLI to interact with AWS Managed Service Kafka and pull relevant metrics. To enable the test to connect to AWS, you need to configure the test with the name of the region to which all requests for metrics should be routed, by default. Specify the name of this AWS Default Region, here. |
|
AWS Access Key ID, AWS Secret Access Key and Confirm Password |
To monitor AWS Managed Service Kafka, the eG agent has to be configured with the access key and secret key of a user with a valid AWS account. For this purpose, we recommend that you create a special user on the AWS cloud, obtain the access and secret keys of this user, and configure this test with these keys. The procedure for this has been detailed in the Obtaining an Access key and Secret key topic. Make sure you reconfirm the access and secret keys you provide here by retyping it in the corresponding Confirm Password text box. |
|
Timeout Seconds |
Specify the maximum duration (in seconds) for which the test will wait for a response from the server. The default is 10 seconds. |

Note: By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate whether/not the network connection to the target broker is available. A value of 100 indicates that the broker is connected over the network. The value 0 indicates that the server is not connected. Typically, the value 100 corresponds to a Packet loss of 0. |
