I am trying to monitor my kafka cluster, I am pulling metrics through logstash-jmx plugin and pushing them to elasticsearch for monitoring. Kafka is providing per topic level metrics which i want to visualize. So is there any way i could use wildcards and query per topic level metrics from kafka jmx, using this plugin.

Hi natarajan,  
No I couldn't get logstash jmx plugin to work with wildcards to get per topic level metrics. But i used jmx-trans and logstash to get per topic level metrics into elasticsearch. Jmxtrans can handle wildcards and gives the metrics per topic. Logstash simply parses those results and push to elasticsearch.
