This extension adds the ability to monitor Confluence Kafka externally and create dashboards from that data
To install this extension, download the release from (https://github.com/jbsouthe/Confluent-Kafka-AppDynamics-Extension/releases) unzip and place the subdirectory into the machine agent install ./monitors directory. Then edit the Confuent-Config-EXAMPLE.json file for your environment and update the monitor.xml to point to this new configuration:
<task-arguments>
<argument name="ConfluentConfigFile" is-required="true" default-value="Confluent-Config-EXAMPLE.json" />
</task-arguments>
The Confuence-Config-EXAMPLE.json looks like this:
[
{
"id": "lkc-nkg056",
"name": "cluster_0",
"url": "https://api.telemetry.confluent.cloud",
"apiKey": "your key",
"apiSecret": "your secret",
"ignoreHiddenTopics": true
}
]
- id, the cluster id to monitor
- name, a name to use in appdynamics, when organizing the metrics
- url, the confluence api endpoint to use
- apiKey and apiSecret, are the authentication information to use on the url provided for export data
- ignoreHiddenTopics, simply ignores topics named starting with '_' in the summation metrics, but displays them individually
once running, the metric browser should look like this, and within the tree are metrics Confluence makes available for monitoring:
