i am collecting the metrics from kafka through logstash and storing it in elastic search.

basically, i can able to collect the server metrics from kafka but metrics of producer and consumer is not working.

below are my kafka configuration:  
producer.properties:  
metadata.broker.list=publicipaddr:9093,publicipaddr:9094  
producer.type=sync  
serializer.class=kafka.serializer.DefaultEncoder  
client.id=logstash

consumer.properties:  
zookeeper.connect=privateipaddr:2181  
group.id=logst-test  
client.id=logstash  
auto.offset.reset=largest

i could able to send and receive messages by executing the producer and consumer like below:  
bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list publicipaddr:9093,publicipaddr:9094 --sync --topic test1  
bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper privateipaddr:2181 --topic test1 --from-beginning --consumer.config config/consumer.properties

my client id and group id is listed while executing:  
bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --zookeeper privateipaddr:2181 --list  
logstash  
logst-test

i have specified client id and group id different since i dont know how this works while listening to logstash. so, i have given different name to be listed in groups.

below is my logstash metrics which i have defined in /etc/logstash/jmx folder:  
{  
"host" : "publicipaddr",  
"port" : 9997,  
"alias" : "kafka\_1\_jvm",  
"queries" : [  
{  
"object\_name" : "kafka.producer:type=producer-metrics,clientId=${client\_id}",  
"object\_alias" : "kafka\_producer\_4"  
},{  
"object\_name" : "kafka.consumer:type=ConsumerFetcherManager,name=MaxLag,clientId=logstash,broker=0",  
"object\_alias" : "kafka\_producer\_2"  
}  
]  
}

i have tried with different possibilities of clientId value like:  
1.clientId=${client\_id}  
2.clientId=logstash  
3.clientId=logst-test  
4.clientId=([-.\w]+)

whenever i run the logstash:  
bin/logstash agent -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/jmx\_kafka.conf --debug --verbose

i get the same error message, i dont see metrics coming from kafka:  
(1,2,3).No jmx object found for kafka.producer:type=producer-metrics,client-id=${client\_id} {:level=\>:warn}  
4.unrecognised token \w

i am badly struck. please help me

appreciated.
