| # How to enable Kafka Reporter |
| |
| The Kafka reporter plugin support report traces, JVM metrics, Instance Properties, and profiled snapshots to Kafka cluster, which is disabled in default. Move the jar of the plugin, `kafka-reporter-plugin-x.y.z.jar`, from `agent/optional-reporter-plugins` to `agent/plugins` for activating. |
| |
| Notice, currently, the agent still needs to configure GRPC receiver for delivering the task of profiling. In other words, the following configure cannot be omitted. |
| |
| ```properties |
| # Backend service addresses. |
| collector.backend_service=${SW_AGENT_COLLECTOR_BACKEND_SERVICES:127.0.0.1:11800} |
| |
| # Kafka producer configuration |
| plugin.kafka.bootstrap_servers=${SW_KAFKA_BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS:localhost:9092} |
| plugin.kafka.producer_config[delivery.timeout.ms]=12000 |
| plugin.kafka.get_topic_timeout=${SW_GET_TOPIC_TIMEOUT:10} |
| ``` |
| |
| Kafka reporter plugin support to customize all configurations of listed in [here](http://kafka.apache.org/24/documentation.html#producerconfigs). |
| |
| Before you activated the Kafka reporter, you have to make sure that [Kafka fetcher](../../backend/backend-fetcher.md#kafka-fetcher) has been opened in service. |
