Very few users are going to know what these values mean. For example, I see myself having to look up the code and KIP to remember these values when monitoring clusters. Did you consider making the metric a string? Most monitoring systems implement "group by" and count aggregation so users would be able to count how many brokers are fenced if they need to count them. In the raft module we have a similar state metric. Check out the current-state metric in KIP-595. The implementation of that metric is in KafkaRaftMetrics#initialize. Thanks, -- -José
