kafdrop VS Telegraf

Are there any comparison to CMAK or Kafdrop ?

For Kafka I really liked using tools like conduktor or Kafdrop where you can basically create a subscription ad look at topics, events and payloads.

No mentions, and 1 open issue with a question 2) Kafka Drop https://github.com/obsidiandynamics/kafdrop

Kafdrop (https://github.com/obsidiandynamics/kafdrop) is very popular and pretty solid. I'd start there. Kafka itself also comes with some cli tools and you can also extract metrics out of it via JMX/jolokia.

The Telegraf (v1.27.3) Net Input Plugin only reports total numbers - i.e., total bytes received by an interface.

I need some help with Filestat - https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/inputs/filestat

That's the thing, I do need network_mode: host on telegraf in order to get host network statistics. See here or here

After screwing around with it for a while, I was able to get inputs.smart working... but I'm not thrilled with the answer. According to this in order for you to get the SMART data inside a container you need to edit the sudoers file inside the container.

I’ve been using the Jolokia agent with telegraf to push JVM metrics into InfluxDB (among other things). I think it can be used with Prometheus too.

Do you mean Telegraf?

I have two devices; both are connected to a Raspberry Pi using a USB converter as Slave 1 and 2. I want to get some readings using Telegraf software https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/release-1.26/plugins/inputs/modbus (happy to try any other linux software), but I'm having trouble (I'm seriously confused to be honest) with byte_order, data_type, and input register addresses.

Yeah i think you can use the grok processor, docs found here: https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/parsers/grok
