Colin P. McCabe resolved KAFKA-7992. ------------------------------------ Resolution: Fixed Fix Version/s: 2.3.0 > Add a server start time metric > ------------------------------ > > Key: KAFKA-7992 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7992 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Stanislav Kozlovski > Assignee: Stanislav Kozlovski > Priority: Minor > Labels: needs-kip > Fix For: 2.3.0 > > > KIP: KIP-436 > As with all software systems, observability into their health is critical. > With many deployment platforms (be them custom-built or open-source), tasks > like restarting a misbehaving server in a cluster are completely automated. > With Kafka, monitoring systems have no definitive source of truth to gauge > when a server/client has been started. They are left to either use arbitrary > Kafka-specific metrics as a heuristic or the JVM RuntimeMXBean's StartTime, > which is not exactly indicative of when the application itself started > It would be useful to have a metric exposing when the kafka server has > started. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
