  • Monitoring consumer group lag
    1 project | /r/apachekafka | 6 Mar 2023
    Hello! I am trying to set up consumer group lag monitoring via DataDog. I noticed that DataDog has a consumer integration which I am considering, especially since it has a consumer lag in seconds metric. I also see that Burrow is another popular option for monitoring consumer lag via a status. I'm curious to hear if folks have any thoughts on monitoring consumer lag via status versus lag in seconds (for example, via this consumer_lag_seconds DataDog metric). Wondering if the overhead of managing Burrow is worth getting consumer lag statuses, or if we can do something similar within DataDog with the built in integration. Thanks!

    Some random tips: * Use SSDs, not magnetic disks. Our Kafka brokers used to use magnetic disks for more throughput, but this caused wayyyy more problems, like very slow broker restarts. * You'll want to install something like Burrow so you can get better lag metrics. * You might want to install CMAK. It's a web interface for common ops tasks.

    As to which consumer is reading from which topics, ACLs help you with managing this (ok, you wouldn't know if a consumer doesn't read from a topic which it is allowed to read from). For consumer lag tracking check out Burrow, which should help you with that (e.g. also can send out notifications as per its docs, haven't tried this myself though).
