Hi Vadim, It totally depends on your requirement. If you want all metrics in some file then other option may be better otherwise the best way to monitor kafka is through jmx.
Also list of metrics varies in different Kafka versions. I am assuming that you are using recent Kafka release of 0.8. Some important metrics in in Kafka-0.8 through JMX are: BytesInCount BytesOutCount BytesInPerSecond BytesOutPerSecond FailedProduceRequestsCount FailedProduceRequestsPerSecond FailedFetchRequestsCount FailedFetchRequestsPerSecond MessageInCount MessageInPerSecond Hope it will be helpful for you.
