Monitoring REST Proxy
The REST Proxy reports a variety of metrics through JMX. It can also be configured to report
stats using additional pluggable stats reporters using the metrics.reporters configuration
option.
The easiest way to view the available metrics is to use jconsole to browse JMX MBeans. In addition to the metrics specific to the REST Proxy listed below, you can also view and monitor the metrics for the underlying producers and consumers.
The REST Proxy has two types of metrics. Global metrics help you monitor the overall health of
the service. Per-endpoint metrics monitor each API endpoint request method and are
prefixed by a name of the endpoint (e.g. brokers.list). These help you
understand how the proxy is being used and track down specific performance problems.
In addition to the metrics defined below, the REST Proxy also exposes the wealth of metrics that are provided by the underlying Jetty server.
Global Metrics
MBean: kafka.rest:type=jetty-metrics
connections-active
Total number of active TCP connections.
connections-accepted-rate (deprecated since 2.0)
* In 1.x: The average rate per second of accepted TCP connections.
* In 2.x: Same as connections-opened-rate.
connections-opened-rate
The average rate per second of opened TCP connections.
connections-closed-rate
The average rate per second of closed TCP connections.
Per-Endpoint Metrics
The following are the metrics available for each endpoint request method. Metrics for all requests are also aggregated into a global instance for each one. These aggregate instances have no prefix in their name.
MBean: kafka.rest:type=jersey-metrics
<endpoint>.request-byte-rate
Bytes/second of incoming requests
<endpoint>.request-error-rate
The average number of requests per second that resulted in HTTP error responses
<endpoint>.request-latency-avg
The average request latency in ms
<endpoint>.request-latency-max
The maximum request latency in ms
<endpoint>.request-rate
The average number of HTTP requests per second.
<endpoint>.request-size-avg
The average request size in bytes
<endpoint>.request-size-max
The maximum request size in bytes
<endpoint>.response-byte-rate
Bytes/second of outgoing responses
<endpoint>.response-rate
The average number of HTTP responses per second.
<endpoint>.response-size-avg
The average response size in bytes
<endpoint>.response-size-max
The maximum response size in bytes
Endpoints
The following is a list of all the API endpoint methods. The naming should map intuitively to
each of the API operations. To create a full metric name, prefix a per-endpoint metric name with
one of these values. For example, to find the rate of GET /brokers API calls, combine the
endpoint name brokers.list with the metric name request-rate to get
brokers.list.request-rate.
