I have added the confluent kafka extension in my environment and a dashboard was automatically created as expected.
However the dashboard uses Confluent Kafka Topic and confluent_kafka_consumergroup metrcis which are a combination of the cluster and topic/consumer group.
For example: Kafka Consumer Group - prod-cluster - consumer group name
I managed to alter the topic Confluent Kafka Topic tile in the board to show only the topic name as it is a metric which exists in the options, however consumer group alone is not an available metric, so I am left with a long and unreadable metric. Is there some way to rename it?
I want to remove the entire prefix that is seen here - "Kafka Consumer Group - prod-cluster"
After the new updates, it is possible to remove and customize the names of all entities created by the extensions.
You can do it:
1 - In Settings ---> Topology model ---> Generic types / Generic Relationships.
1 - Or in the extension settings in the hub it shows you the created entities
2 - After finding the entity you want, simply remove/add the property you want, for example in my case the topics were named Kafka Topic Name on Cluster ID
I just removed the in {Cluster} in the Instance name pattern field and I was successful
Hope this helps.
