This worked for me:

sasl: enabled: true handshake: true username: **** password: **** mechanism: "scram-sha256"

tls: enabled: true insecureSkipTlsVerify: true caFile: "" certFile: "" keyFile: ""

getting this same error. Does any one know the solution?

Edit: Found the solution. I think kafka exporter has issue with identifying the version of kafka server. So when I added version flag in exporter ./kafka_exporter --kafka.server=localhost:9092 --kafka.version=1.1.0 it worked just fine.

It looks to me (just installed it now) that the kafka-exporter needs to see the kafka server running (i.e. depends on, and need to wait a while until the kafka server is operational and 'open for buisness'.

I tried it using docker compose to enforce the dependency, and only when manualy starting the exporter later, it worked ok.

In case it helps anybody, this worked for me (SASL/PLAIN, no TLS):

./kafka_exporter --kafka.server="kafka.myns.svc.cluster.local:9092" --sasl.enabled --sasl.mechanism="plain" --sasl.username="myuser" --sasl.password="mypass"
