Kafka Connect Alerting Options?

Question

Are there any alerting options for scenarios where a Kafka Connect Connector or a Connector task fails or experiences errors?

We have Kafka Connect running, it runs

Answer 1

Building on what Randall says, this shell script uses the Confluent CLI to show the state of all connectors and tasks. You could use that as the basis of alerting:

Robin@asgard02 ~/c/confluent-3.3.0> ./bin/confluent status connectors| \
                                    jq '.[]'| \
                                    xargs -I{connector} ./bin/confluent status {connector}| \
                                    jq -c -M '[.name,.connector.state,.tasks[].state]|join(":|:")'| \
                                    column -s : -t| \
                                    sed 's/\"//g'| \
                                    sort
