Description
In this episode of PithorAcademy Presents: Deep Dive, we cover Kafka Monitoring, a critical skill for keeping Apache Kafka clusters healthy and reliable. Proper monitoring prevents downtime, ensures performance, and gives operations teams visibility into real-time pipelines.
We cover:
Lag Basics – why consumer lag is the #1 health indicator
Throughput Metrics – measuring producer and consumer performance
Key Kafka Metrics – what to track for reliability and scaling
Monitoring Tools – Prometheus, Grafana, and other ecosystem tools
By the end, you’ll know how to set up effective monitoring dashboards that help detect issues early, optimize performance, and keep Kafka clusters running smoothly in production.
