Does GCP ops agent receiver support kafka version 3.2.x?

I am trying to collect logs/metrics from kafka connector in GCP.

I read the documentation

It seems that ops agent only support till Apache Kafka Version 3.0.0 and I am using Kafka version 3.2.3.

May I know if there is any roadmap of version support of Kafka in ops agent?

Or any alternatives I can do for this? Please advise.

Solution

  • From a technical standpoint, there is no hard requirement that the version of Kafka you use is within the range documented. You're free to try using a newer version than what's documented (the Ops Agent will not forbid you from doing this), and it "might" work; it's just not officially supported or tested.

    That being said, I tried running version 3.2.3 through the Ops Agent integration tests and they all passed, so there's a decent chance that 3.2.3 would work fine for you.
