Destination reached!

Congratulations on completing this journey! Job well done!

You’ve successfully implemented comprehensive Kafka monitoring with Grafana Cloud and gained valuable event streaming observability skills.

We hope you’ve enjoyed traveling with us as you:

• Understood the value of comprehensive Kafka monitoring for maintaining reliable message streaming.
• Learned about Grafana Alloy’s advantages for collecting Kafka metrics efficiently.
• Installed Grafana Alloy on a monitoring server with access to your Kafka cluster.
• Configured JMX metrics exposure on your Kafka brokers.
• Set up Alloy to scrape and forward Kafka metrics to Grafana Cloud.
• Verified successful metrics collection through Grafana Explore.
• Installed pre-built dashboards for cluster overview, broker performance, and topic analysis.
• Explored key Kafka performance indicators and learned to interpret cluster health metrics.

Now that you have Kafka monitoring set up, consider these related journeys to expand your observability capabilities and protect your event streaming infrastructure.
