Measures reported by KafkaCoGroupTest

The Kafka Coordinator Group is one of the brokers which receives heartbeats (or polling for messages) from all consumers of a consumer group. Every consumer group has a group coordinator. If a consumer stops sending heartbeats, the coordinator will trigger a rebalance. Using this test, the administrators can monitor the Coordinator groups and identify similar potential conditions, if any.

Outputs of the test: One set of results for the target Apache Kafka Message System.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
numGroupsDead Indicates the number of groups which are currently in the dead state. Number

Ideally, the value of this measure should be zero.

numGroupsStable Indicates the number of groups which are currently in the stable state. Number

A very high value is desired for this measure.

numOffsets Indicates the number of offsets. Number

 

numGroups Indicates the number of output groups to generate. Number

 

numGroupCompletRebalance Indicates number of consumer groups which are currently in completing re-balance state. Number

 

numGroupsEmpty Indicates the number of groups which are currently in the empty state. Number

 

numGroupPreparRebalance Indicates the number of consumer groups which are currently in preparing re-balance state. Number
