How are people monitoring consumer lag without going full Datadog?

Trying to get a read on this before building anything — for teams on Confluent Cloud, what do you use to catch a consumer group falling behind or a DLQ growing? Is it a DIY Grafana/Prometheus/Burrow setup, one of the bigger paid tools, or honestly nothing until something breaks? What’s been the most annoying part of whatever you’re doing today?

Hi @q.tryharder

welcome :slight_smile:

to be honest 95% grafana/prometheus in my case.

Best,

Michael
