Monitor data to missing topic

[Todd S <to...@borked.ca>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to find an existing metric, or method to monitor for data
being sent to a topic that doesn't exist.  Is there a JMX stat I
should look at now, or some other way you catch this sort of thing?

We'd like to get ahead of our users noticing a missing topic, or
sending data to a typo'd topic name, etc.  We don't want to
auto-create topics, so I'd like to catch these.

Thanks.

I don't remember seeing a metric for that.... but I'd look at logs first.
Not sure if anything is logged about it, but that's where I'd look for
errors.
