Apache Kafka 3.1.0

Wed, 12 Aug 2026 09:16:32 +0000

⚠️WARNING⚠️: Possible breaking changes and warnings - PLEASE READ before upgrading:

This version requires a minimum Dynatrace version and minimum EEC version of 1.343.0.
This version includes a breaking change for Dynatrace on Grail.
- With the inclusion of OpenPipeline processing rules, any metrics ingested from the extension will be processed by a dedicated OpenPipeline pipeline.
- This means that any dynamic route configured to process any metrics from the extension will be dropped in favor of the dedicated pipeline. Please, refer to pipeline groups to continue using dynamic routes.
- Additionally, some field names are handled differently in OpenPipeline, e.g. capitalization. Please double-check any custom dashboards and alerts you have created for this extension.
- You must opt-in to OpenPipeline configuration via Settings API – see the documentation.
Metrics kafka.consumer.consumer-metrics.records-lag, kafka.consumer.consumer-metrics.records-lag-avg and kafka.consumer.consumer-metrics.records-lag-max now belong to the new consumer-records-lag feature set.

Tue, 11 Mar 2025 14:44:39 +0000

Apache Kafka 2.0.0

Thu, 14 Nov 2024 15:04:03 +0000

🚀 Improved in this version:

[🔴 Breaking change] Refactored entity creation for consumers and producers. The dimension client-id is no longer used to generate these entities but only the process_group_instanceand the host will be considered. This will generate new entity IDs for all your existing consumers and producers, which will break any configuration (metric events, dashboards, etc.) that use those individual IDs. The name of these entities will also change, as it was based on the client-idpreviously.
Charts in consumers and producers have been changed to show metrics per client-id, instead of per entity.
Added descriptions to all extension metrics

✨ New in this version:

Added 8 new metrics related to the Kafka Connector.

🐛 Fixed in this version:

As client-id is no longer used for generating consumer and producer entities, we no longer run into the entity dimension limitation that prevented new data from being ingested.

Apache Kafka 1.1.2

Wed, 20 Mar 2024 15:25:25 +0000

Broker now uses the hostname instead of the host ID, when available.
Entity lists for broker, producer and consumer now show the host and the process they are related to, as well as allowing you to filter by those entities.
Removed any reference to zookeeper metrics or entities. To get insight into Zookeeper, activate the recently released standalone extension.

Added a new metric kafka.consumer.consumer-metrics.records-lag to show latest consumer lag instead of the already available consumer lag average and maximum.
