Hi all, Since I couldn't find any other way to publish kafka metrics to ganglia from kafka 0.8 (beta), I just published on github a super-simple ganglia metrics reporter for Kafka. It is configurable through the kafka config file and you can use it on the broker side and on your consumers/producers. There is also a feature to exclude some metrics with a regex (useful if you have many topics/partions).
Here it is on github: https://github.com/criteo/kafka-ganglia Let me know if you have issues/questions. This is using metrics-ganglia 2.2.0 directly so it is not a ganglia plugin but rather a kafka "add-on". I don't know the proper way to distribute this yet for installation on brokers, it could also be part of some contrib kafka code. Cheers, Maxime
