RE: ActiveControllerCount is always will be either 0 or 1 in 3
nodes kafka cluster?
Hi,
in JMX each Kafka broker has a value 1 or 0 for ActiveControllerCount. As I understood from this thread, the sum of these values across the cluster should never be something other than 1. The documentation at http://docs.confluent.io/3.1.0/kafka/monitoring.html should be improved to make that clear. Currently it is misleading:
kafka.controller:type=KafkaController,name=ActiveControllerCount
Number of active controllers in the cluster. Alert if value is anything other than 1.
Suggested:
kafka.controller:type=KafkaController,name=ActiveControllerCount
Number of active controllers on a broker. Alert if the aggregated sum across all brokers in the cluster is anything other than 1, because in a cluster there should only be one broker with an active controller (cluster singleton).
Kind Regards,
Sven

This is confluent documentation, not Apache documentation. I'd recommend
talking to Confluent about that.

Thanks Sven, I will followup and ensure that the document is tightened up.
