librdkafka may be configured to emit internal metrics at a fixed interval
by setting the statistics.interval.ms configuration property to a value > 0
and registering a stats_cb (or similar, depending on language).
The stats are provided as a JSON object string.
Note: The metrics returned may not be completely consistent between
brokers, toppars and totals, due to the internal asynchronous
nature of librdkafka.
E.g., the top level tx total may be less than the sum of
the broker tx values which it represents.
All fields that contain sizes are are in bytes unless otherwise noted.
{
<Top-level fields>

"toppars": { <toppars fields> }
},
"topics": {
<topic fields>,
"partitions": {
<partitions fields>
}
}
[, "cgrp": { <cgrp fields> } ]
}
Fields are represented as follows:
- string - UTF8 string.
- int - Integer counter (64 bits wide). Ever increasing.
- int gauge - Integer gauge (64 bits wide). Will be reset to 0 on each stats emit.
- object - Nested JSON object.
- bool -
trueorfalse.
