Metrics

ksqlDB emits a variety of JMX metrics to help you understand and monitor what its servers are doing. This reference describes each metric and grouping.

All persistent queries

Metrics that describe the full set of persistent queries on a given server.

1
io.confluent.ksql.metrics:type=_confluent-ksql-engine-query-stats,ksql_service_id=<ksql.service.id>

Attributes

Number of persistent queries

num-persistent-queries

The current number of persistent queries running in this engine.

Number of active queries

num-active-queries

The current number of active queries running in this engine.

Number of running queries

RUNNING-queries

Count of queries in RUNNING state.

Number of idle queries

num-idle-queries

Number of inactive queries.

Number of not running queries

NOT_RUNNING-queries

Count of queries in NOT_RUNNING state.

Number of rebalancing queries

REBALANCING-queries

Count of queries in REBALANCING state.

Number of created queries

CREATED-queries

Count of queries in CREATED state.

Number of pending shutdown queries

PENDING_SHUTDOWN-queries

Count of queries in PENDING_SHUTDOWN state.

Number of error queries

ERROR-queries

Count of queries in ERROR state.

Total bytes consumed

bytes-consumed-total

The total number of bytes consumed across all queries.

Minimum messages consumed

messages-consumed-min

Min msgs consumed by query.

Maximum messages consumed

messages-consumed-max

Max msgs consumed by query.

Average messages consumed

messages-consumed-avg

Mean msgs consumed by query.

Messages consumed per second

messages-consumed-per-sec

The number of messages consumed per second across all queries.

Messages consumed total

messages-consumed-total

The total number of messages consumed across all queries.

Messages produced per second

messages-produced-per-sec

The number of messages produced per second across all queries.

Error rate

error-rate

The number of messages that were consumed but not processed. Messages may not be processed if, for instance, the message contents could not be deserialized due to an incompatible schema. Alternately, a consumed message may not have been produced, hence being effectively dropped. Such messages would also be counted toward the error rate.

Liveness indicator

liveness-indicator

A metric with constant value 1 indicating the server is up and emitting metrics.

Persistent query status

Metrics that describe the health of each persistent query.

1
io.confluent.ksql.metrics:type=ksql-queries

Attributes

Query status

query-status

The current status of the given query.

Error status

error-status

The current error status of the given query, if the state is in ERROR state.

Persistent query production

Metrics that describe the producer activity of each persistent query.

1
io.confluent.ksql.metrics:type=producer-metrics

Attributes

Total messages

total-messages

The total number of messages produced.

Messages per second

messages-per-sec

The total number of messages produced per second.

Persistent query consumption

Metrics that describe the consumer activity of each persistent query.

1
io.confluent.ksql.metrics:type=consumer-metrics

Attributes

Total messages

consumer-total-messages

The total number of messages consumed.

Messages per second

consumer-messages-per-sec

The total number of messages consumed per second.

Total bytes

consumer-total-bytes

The total number of bytes consumed.

Runtime

Because ksqlDB persistent queries directly compile into Kafka Streams topologies, many useful Kafka Streams metrics are emitted for each persistent query. These metrics are omitted from this reference to avoid redundancy.

HTTP server

ksqlDB's REST API is built ontop of Vert, and consequentially exposes many Vert.x metrics directly. These metrics are omitted from this reference to avoid redundancy.

Pull queries

Metrics that describe the activity of pull queries on each server.

1
io.confluent.ksql.metrics:type=_confluent-ksql-pull-query

Info

Pull query metrics must be enabled explicitly by setting the ksql.query.pull.metrics.enabled server configuration to true.

Attributes

Pull query total requests

pull-query-requests-total

Total number of pull query requests.

Pull query request rate

pull-query-requests-rate

Rate of pull query requests per second.

Pull query requests error count

pull-query-requests-error-total

Total number of erroneous pull query requests.

Pull query request error rate

pull-query-requests-error-rate

Rate of erroneous pull query requests per second.

Local pull query requests count

pull-query-requests-local

Count of local pull query requests.

Local pull query requests rate

pull-query-requests-local-rate

Rate of local pull query requests per second.

Remote pull query requests count

pull-query-requests-remote

Count of remote pull query requests.

Remote pull query requests rate

pull-query-requests-remote-rate

Rate of remote pull query requests per second.

Pull query minimum request latency

pull-query-requests-latency-latency-min

Average time for a pull query request.

Pull query maximum request latency

pull-query-requests-latency-latency-max

Max time for a pull query request.

Pull query average request latency

pull-query-requests-latency-latency-avg

Average time for a pull query request.

Pull query latency 50th percentile

pull-query-requests-latency-distribution-50

Latency distribution of the 50th percentile.

Pull query latency 75th percentile

pull-query-requests-latency-distribution-75

Latency distribution of the 75th percentile.

Pull query latency 75th percentile

pull-query-requests-latency-distribution-90

Latency distribution of the 90th percentile.

Pull query latency 99th percentile

pull-query-requests-latency-distribution-99

Latency distribution of the 99th percentile.

User-defined functions

Metrics that describe the activity of user-defined functions, both in-built and custom added.

1
io.confluent.ksql.metrics:type=ksql-udf

Info

UDF metrics must be enabled explicitly by setting the ksql.udf.collect.metrics server configuration to true.

Attributes

ksqlDB creates a series of attributes per user-defined function. The general form is:

1
ksql-(udf | udtf | udaf)-<function name>-(avg | count | max | rate)

For example, if you had a UDF named formula, you would see these attributes:

  • ksql-udf-formula-avg
  • ksql-udf-formula-count
  • ksql-udf-formula-max
  • ksql-udf-formula-rate

Here are what each of these suffixes mean.

avg

Average time for an invocation of the function.

count

Total number of invocations of the function.

max

Max time for an invocation of the function.

rate

The average number of invocations per second of the function.

Command runner

Metrics that describe the health of the CommandRunner thread, which enables each node to participate in distributed computation.

1
io.confluent.ksql.metrics:type=_confluent-ksql-rest-app-command-runner

Attributes

Thread status

status

The status of the commandRunner thread as it processes the command topic.
