Kafka Consumer Group Deep Dive

Designed for Application Teams, this dashboard focuses on micro-level Service Level Agreement (SLA) monitoring.

Instead of generic host metrics, it visualizes the exact state of your data consumption. Key metrics include precise total lag (group_offset_lag) and real-time consumption rates (group_offset_delta). It details total assigned members and hosts, and features a clear status table tracking the exact state of every consumer group to help engineers spot stalling applications before downstream users are impacted.

Getting Started

This dashboard relies on Kpow's Prometheus integration. It does not require JMX sidecars or complex Exporters.

To use this dashboard:

Ensure your Prometheus instance (or Grafana Cloud Metrics Endpoint) is configured to scrape your Kpow telemetry endpoints (e.g., /metrics/v1).
Import this dashboard template.
Select your Prometheus data source from the dropdown when prompted.
