Confluent Control Center provides a UI for monitoring Kafka clusters, while Prometheus and Grafana offer more customizable dashboards for ad-hoc needs. To integrate Confluent with Prometheus, operators need to configure the server-side component and client-side configuration, including renaming attribute names and exporting MBeans in a Prometheus-compatible format. After setting up the Prometheus server to scrape Confluent metrics, operators can create beautiful dashboards using Grafana, which offers real-time visualization of Confluent components' activity. The integration allows for easy monitoring of Confluent clusters, enabling operators to quickly assess cluster health and performance, set up data flows, and more.
