Gain visibility with Aiven for Apache Kafka dashboards

Visualizing and alerting for Apache Kafka and system resource data is essential for smooth operations, which can be achieved using Aiven's in-house solution. Using InfluxDB and Grafana, Aiven customers can seamlessly collect and visualize Aiven Kafka and system resource telemetry. The built-in dashboards include Kafka specific metrics about brokers, message activity, etc., system level resources (CPU, RAM, Network, Disk, etc), and Java Virtual Machine (JVM) internal metrics from which users can gain insights into peak usage bottlenecks, performance and bottlenecks debugging, awareness of system resource utilization and trends, oversight of critical systems to prevent resource exhaustion that causes service outage, and capacity planning to handle future growth. Custom dashboards and alerting can also be set up easily in Grafana for better visibility and control over the Kafka system.
