count of number of producers and consumers in a kafka cluster

Hi All,
does kafka have any metrics for count of number of producers and consumers
connected to a kafka cluster and any given time ?

Thanks,
Dhirendra.

Hi Luke,
The purpose of the count is to know how many producers and consumers and
connected at any given time and it is not crossing any threshold.
A bad client can open many connections affecting all others.

Thanks,
Dhirendra.

Hi Dhirendra,

Not sure what's the purpose of knowing the count of number of producers and
consumers?

Theres's metrics: `Consumer Group Count` to know the total number of
Consumer Groups.
For consumers, they go up and down from time to time, and the consumer
group will rebalance the partitions automatically. So monitoring the
`consumer group` is a better idea.

For producers, as far as I know, there's no such metrics because producers.

You can refer to the documentation for more other metrics:
https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#monitoring

Thank you.
Luke
