JMX is as above. Please help in finding what could be wrong.
Nothing is wrong there. DataDog conceals that the Kafka integration uses Dogstatsd under the hood. When use_dogstatsd: 'true within /etc/datadog-agent/datadog.yaml is set, metrics do appear in DataDog webUI. If that option is not set the default Broker data is available via JMXFetch using sudo -u dd-agent datadog-agent status as also via sudo -u dd-agent datadog-agent check kafka but not in the webUI.
