Hi All:
I submitted a relatively simple KIP about improving the Kafka protocol and the JmxTool to support to connect to a secured RMI port. Any advise or guidance would be greatly appreciated, I would be happy to receive some opinions about this. It is necessary to enable security when monitoring remotely in a production environment, so I think this would be important to add this capability for monitoring metrics. For more details please read the following KIP: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-417%3A+Allow+JmxTool+to+connect+to+a+secured+RMI+port Cheers, Fangbin
