= Metrics configuration

Prometheus metrics can be enabled by configuring the `metrics` property in following resources:

* `Kafka.spec.kafka`
* `Kafka.spec.zookeeper`
* `KafkaConnect.spec`
* `KafkaConnectS2I.spec`

When the `metrics` property is not defined in the resource, the Prometheus metrics will be disabled.
To enable Prometheus metrics export without any further configuration, you can set it to an empty object (`{}`).

The `metrics` property might contain additional configuration for the link:https://github.com/prometheus/jmx_exporter[Prometheus JMX exporter^].
