Hello Apache Kafka community, Please correct me if wrong, I assume common Kafka client metrics (see https://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#selector_monitoring ) are aggregated metrics of all different requests particular client instance makes. So e.g. producer common metrics like outgoing-byte-rate and incoming-byte-rate include not only Produce request/response byte-rate but also all other requests producer makes, like Metadata request/response, correct?
If so, would it be technically possible to have, as addition, or instead, common client metrics per request/response? E.g. I'm seeing that producer instance outgoing-byte-rate (data producer sends to brokers) is lower than incoming-byte-rate (data received by producer) - I guess that metadata requests are contributing to incoming-byte-rate, but cannot see it from client metrics. Or is it considered to be enough to have this breakdown per request not in client metrics, but on broker side only? Kind regards, Stevo Slavic.
