eG Monitoring

Measures reported by AWSMSKConnecTest This test monitors the broker's connection to the consumer and any abnormal connectivity issues can be proactively detected. Outputs of the test: One set of results for the target AWS Managed Service Kafka server. The measures made by this test are as follows:
Measurement | Description | Measurement Unit | Interpretation
--- | --- | --- | ---
connectionCount | Indicates the current number of active connections. | Number | A very high value is required for this measure.
connTrackAllowanceExceed | Indicates the number of packets shaped because the connection tracking exceeded the maximum for the broker. | Number | Connection tracking is related to security groups that track each connection established to ensure that return packets are delivered as expected.
connectionCloseRate | Indicates the number of connections closed per second per listener. | Number | This number is aggregated per listener and filtered for the client listeners.
connectionCreationRate | Indicates the number of new connections established per second per listener. | Number | This number is aggregated per listener and filtered for the client listeners.
tcpConnections | Indicates the number of incoming and outgoing TCP segments with the SYN flag set. | Number | SYN packets are normally generated when a client attempts to start a TCP connection to a server, and the client and server exchange a series of messages. The client requests a connection by sending a SYN (synchronize) message to the server.
