I was wondering if there are any plans to update the Metricbeat module for Kafka, to allow monitoring of MirrorMaker 2. AFAICS there are a few metricsets that make use of JMX to extract information about Kafka. For example there's a "broker" module [here](https://github.com/elastic/beats/tree/main/metricbeat/module/kafka/broker) that connects to JMX (through Jolokia) to retrieve info about the broker.

I feel something similar could be done with MirrorMaker (see more info [here](https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#georeplication-monitoring)). I couldn't find any PR related to this. And I was wondering if someone already considered adding this to Metricbeat.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Would the monitoring work, if you use the [jolokia](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-module-jolokia.html) module directly?

We can create an issue to track an enhancement.
