Pre-requisites for Monitoring Apache Kafka Message System

Before attempting to manage and monitor Apache Kafka Message System, make sure that the following pre-requisites are fulfilled:

• Determine the correct port using which the target Apache Kafka Message System has to be managed in the eG admin interface.
• To enable the eG agent to collect JVM-related metrics, make sure the requirement for JVM monitoring detailed in the Configuring JVM Monitoring for Windows in Apache Kafka Message System and Configuring JVM Monitoring for Linux in Apache Kafka Message System topics are satisfied.
• By default, the eG agent cannot perform Java business transaction monitoring on a Apache Kafka Message System. For that, you need to enable the eG Java Business Transaction Monitor (BTM) on the Apache Kafka Message System. To know how to achieve this, refer to Configuring BTM Monitoring for Windows in Apache Kafka Message System and Configuring BTM Monitoring for Linux in Apache Kafka Message Systemtopics.
