Kafka Log Test

Apache Kafka logs are a collection of various data segments available on a disk, having a name as that of a form-topic partition or any specific topic-partition. Each Kafka log provides a logical representation of a unique topic-based partitioning. This test reports the number of offline log directories on a live broker (for example, an instance after a hardware failure).

Target of the test : Apache Kafka Message System

Agent deploying the test : An internal/remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the target Apache Kafka Message System.

Configurable parameters for the test

Parameter	Description
Test period	How often should the test be executed.
Host	The IP address of the target server that is being monitored.
Port	The port number through which the Apache Kafka Message System communicates. The default port is 9092.
JMX Remote Port	This parameter appears only if the Measurement Mode is set to jmx. Here, specify the port at which the jmx listens for requests from remote hosts.
JMX User, JMX Password, and Confirm Password	These parameters appear only if the Measurement Mode is set to jmx. If JMX requires authentication only (but no security), then ensure that the JMX User and JMX Password parameters are configured with the credentials of a user with read-write access to JMX.
