In addition to HAQM CloudWatch, you now have the option to monitor your HAQM Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (HAQM MSK) clusters using Prometheus, an open source monitoring system for time-series metrics. Open Monitoring with Prometheus enables you to monitor HAQM MSK using solutions like Datadog, Lenses, New Relic, Sumo logic, or a Prometheus server, and easily migrate your existing monitoring dashboards to HAQM MSK.

Open Monitoring with Prometheus provides clients access to JMX metrics emitted by HAQM MSK brokers and Apache Kafka within your HAQM VPC. Open Monitoring with Prometheus is offered at no additional cost and is offered in all regions where HAQM MSK is available. For more information on getting started or accessing JMX metrics using Open Monitoring with Prometheus, see the HAQM MSK developer guide.
