Re: Failure metrics

Gaurav,

Those two metrics are server-side ones which records when an unexpected
exception happens when handling the request. However, if the request even
failed to reach the broker at all, they will not be recorded in this
metrics.

You can take a look at this section of the web site, which includes both
server side and client side metrics for monitoring purposes.

Failure metrics

[Gaurav Abbi]

Hi,
I am trying to visualize Kafka metrics that can help me gain better
insights to failures in the Kafka Server level while handling requests.

While looking at the various metrics in JMX, I can see following two metrics

   - FailedProduceRequestsPerSec
   - FailedFetchRequestsPerSec

When I visualize the metrics in my production system, I can see that for
the past 60 days, both these metrics show values of 0.

I suspect if this is the case since we had a couple of incidents where
there was an increase in the failures while reading or publishing?

Could someone verify If these metrics are still available? Quick googling
or search are not giving any conclusive answers. I am using Kafka version
0.9.0.1.

Another question on similar term, are there some metrics that can help in
visualizing failures for other types of requests like (Metadata)

Best Regards,
Gaurav Abbi
