Kafka
Receive metrics from Kafka clusters and brokers, and telemetry signals from Kafka Streams.
Overview
With Bindplane, you can easily configure your OpenTelemetry collectors to receive metrics from Kafka Clusters and Kafka Nodes, and all telemetry signals from Kafka Streams via OTLP. Then, with a few simple clicks, you can transform, route, and ship that telemetry to any of our 50+ supported destinations.
Why Bindplane for Kafka?
OpenTelemetry standardizes how telemetry is collected and transported. Bindplane standardizes how it is operated.
As telemetry volume and collector fleets grow, distributed configurations introduce risk, drift, and operational overhead. Bindplane acts as the control plane for your telemetry infrastructure by centralizing management, enforcing consistency, and providing full visibility across environments.
With Bindplane, you get:
- Centralized Fleet Management & Visibility: Manage thousands to millions of OpenTelemetry Collectors from a single control plane. Monitor collector health, throughput, and end-to-end performance.
- Safe, Controlled Rollouts: Deploy configuration updates consistently with one-click rollouts.
- Vendor-Neutral Routing: Connect any source and send telemetry to any destination without lock-in.
- Cost Optimization: Lower ingestion and storage spend by eliminating duplicate, unused, or low-value data at the pipeline level.
- Processing, Enrichment & Normalization: Apply standardized processing logic across all environments.
