From df3da3f0556daebdbf24eacc6109572535452a59 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Juha Mynttinen Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2023 08:01:54 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Clarify Add Kafka producer and consumer Datadog metrics First, remove the false claim that kafka.producer.* and kafka.consumer.* metrics are client side. Some broker-side metrics also have the prefix. Change the topic to clearly state the page is about client-side metrics. --- .../kafka/howto/add-missing-producer-consumer-metrics.rst | 8 +++----- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/products/kafka/howto/add-missing-producer-consumer-metrics.rst b/docs/products/kafka/howto/add-missing-producer-consumer-metrics.rst index 5f19b9af76..f5d44bc080 100644 --- a/docs/products/kafka/howto/add-missing-producer-consumer-metrics.rst +++ b/docs/products/kafka/howto/add-missing-producer-consumer-metrics.rst @@ -1,8 +1,6 @@ -Add ``kafka.producer.`` and ``kafka.consumer`` Datadog metrics -============================================================== +Add client-side Kafka producer and consumer Datadog metrics +=========================================================== When you enable the :doc:`Datadog integration ` in Aiven for Apache Kafka®, the service supports all of the broker-side metrics listed in the `Datadog Kafka integration documentation `_ and allows you to send additional :doc:`custom metrics `. -However, all metrics that have a prefix like ``kafka.producer.*`` or ``kafka.consumer.*`` are client-side metrics that should be collected from the producer or consumer, and sent to Datadog. - -The dedicated `Datadog documentation `_ (see "Missing producer and consumer metrics" chapter) provides a way to include the missing metrics natively for Java based producers and consumers or via `DogStatsD `_ for clients in other languages. +Additionally, metrics client-side metrics can be collected from the producer or consumer itself, and sent to Datadog.
