Hi, Not sure what you are using to get the data out, but if you use SPM <http://sematext.com/spm/integrations/kafka-monitoring.html> you don't have to worry about any of that... assuming you use either 0.7.x or 0.8.2.x. Kafka metrics have changed drastically in the past and it looks like more changes are ahead, so whatever custom you use now will need to be changed when you update to Kafka with new metrics (format).
