Filtering Kafka metrics in Dynatrace for specific brokers and consumers

we have a single Dynatrace for multiple Kafka instances. I want to filter it out to my Kafka brokers and consumers.
I want to filter my Kafka brokers and producer information only, instead of displaying all other producer and brokers information in my dashbaord.

Hi @koti521 ,
Tagging is the best way here. Each of your Broker or Consumer is discovered as a new entity or pull them into your management zone using entity Selector rule

Once you pull these into your management zone then you can filter using that.

Hi @koti521,

Or on Classic Dashboard you can use dynamic filters:

I hope it also helps.
