Akka Insights

Version 2.19.4

Predefined JMX importers

Akka Insights comes with some predefined importers to provide for easy import from JMX.

Apache Kafka importers

Akka Insights comes with two importers for Apache Kafka to generate metrics for Kafka consumers and producers.

Apache Kafka importer dependency

Add the desired Kafka JMX Importer dependencies to your build:

sbt
// Consumer metric generation
libraryDependencies += Cinnamon.library.cinnamonKafkaConsumerJmxImporter

// Producer metric generation
libraryDependencies += Cinnamon.library.cinnamonKafkaProducerJmxImporter
Maven
<!-- Generate consumer metrics -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.lightbend.cinnamon</groupId>
    <artifactId>cinnamon-jmx-importer-kafka-consumer</artifactId>
    <version>2.19.4</version>
</dependency>
<!-- Generate producer metrics -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.lightbend.cinnamon</groupId>
    <artifactId>cinnamon-jmx-importer-kafka-producer</artifactId>
    <version>2.19.4</version>
</dependency>
Gradle
dependencies {
    // generate consumer metrics
    implementation group: 'com.lightbend.cinnamon', name: 'cinnamon-jmx-importer-kafka-consumer', version: '2.19.4'

    // generate producer metrics
    implementation group: 'com.lightbend.cinnamon', name: 'cinnamon-jmx-importer-kafka-producer', version: '2.19.4'
}

Apache Kafka importer configuration

Required

No additional configuration is required for the Kafka JMX importers to import the MBeans.
