For many years, the only way to capture Kafka client metrics was using JMX. Starting with Kafka 3.7.0 and, thanks to the KIP-714, it is now possible to pull client metrics from your Kafka clusters using OpenTelemetry. This blog post explains how KIP-714 works, what you have to do to collect metrics, and gives you a working code to test things out.
