KIP-575 — build a Kafka-Exporter by Java

Discussion Metrics

Proposes adding a JVM-level metrics exporter for Kafka that exposes JVM heap, GC, thread, and class-loading metrics via JMX or HTTP in a standard format. No official JVM metrics exporter existed in the Kafka ecosystem, forcing operators to run separate JVM exporter agents alongside Kafka or forgo JVM-level observability.
