Re: Metrics for Topic/Partition size

Hi Richard,

The beans path is:
kafka.log:name=Size,partition=<partition>,topic=<topic>,type=Log
I don't have a jmx_exporter at hand to test it at the moment but I
don't see anything obviously wrong in your config, other than type:
GAUGE missing.
Did you try browsing the beans with jmxterm before configuring the exporter?
