Hi, according to this article:

Monitoring REST Proxy | Confluent Documentation

I’ve just make the JMX works in my confluent kafka rest proxy.  
Now I can use my Prometheus to probe the JMX metrics.  
But I’m wondering what metrics should be monitored, so I can monitoring my kafka rest proxy’s health precisely(not kafka).

Thanks!

Hi @Lizz850517

for monitoring kafka rest proxy itself I would go with  
[https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/kafka-rest/production-deployment/rest-proxy/monitoring.html#global-metrics](https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/kafka-rest/production-deployment/rest-proxy/monitoring.html#global-metrics)

best,
