Confluent Kafka Extension Dashboard

I have added the confluent kafka extension in my environment and a dashboard was automatically created as expected.

However the dashboard uses Confluent Kafka Topic and confluent_kafka_consumergroup metrcis which are a combination of the cluster and topic/consumer group.

For example: Kafka Consumer Group - prod-cluster - consumer group name

I managed to alter the topic Confluent Kafka Topic tile in the board to show only the topic name as it is a metric which exists in the options, however consumer group alone is not an available metric, so I am left with a long and unreadable metric. Is there some way to rename it?

I want to remove the entire prefix that is seen here - "Kafka Consumer Group - prod-cluster"

Hello,

 

There isn't a way to rename any built in Dynatrace metrics.

 

Thank you

After the new updates, it is possible to remove and customize the names of all entities created by the extensions.

You can do it:

1 - In Settings ---> Topology model ---> Generic types / Generic Relationships.

1 - Or in the extension settings in the hub it shows you the created entities

2 - After finding the entity you want, simply remove/add the property you want, for example in my case the topics were named Kafka Topic Name on Cluster ID

I just removed the in {Cluster} in the Instance name pattern field and I was successful

Hope this helps.
