Question #3

Hi, thanks for your work.

For the steps under 'Kafka Configuration', I assume these are steps that I need to perform on all Kafka hosts? Not on the Zabbix Server host

Thanks

helli0n commented 7 years ago

Hello,

Yes, that steps should be done on kafka servers (brokers)

You're welcome

aviramartac commented 7 years ago

Okay,

And is there any reason you chose "12345" for Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port? or just random? I know Zabbix Java Gateway uses port 10052

helli0n commented 7 years ago

Port 12345 doesn't relate to Zabbix Java Gateway. Port 12345 uses for JMX monitoring of kafka broker.

aviramartac commented 7 years ago

So let me see if I get this correctly:

Zabbix Server connects to Zabbix Java Gateway via port 10052. Then Zabbix Java Gateway connects to the Kafka brokers via port 12345?

helli0n commented 7 years ago

Yes, You understood correct!

aviramartac commented 7 years ago

Okay and one final question:

Do I have to use port 12345 or can I just choose another available random port?

helli0n commented 7 years ago

You can use ports whatever you want
