Amazon MSK metrics for monitoring with CloudWatch

• Important For an Amazon MSK cluster that uses Apache Kafka 2.4.1 or a newer version, the metrics in the following table appear only after their values become nonzero for the first time. For example, to see BytesInPerSec, one or more producers must first send data to the cluster.

Consumer-lag monitoring

• Note To turn on consumer-lag monitoring for a cluster that was created before November 23, 2020, ensure that the cluster is running Apache Kafka 2.2.1 or a later version, then create a support case.
