Issue/Introduction

KAFKA_APMIA is sending 160k metrics at irregular intervals. The  metrics inflow should be constant. 

Resolution

• If possible, optimize the filter property (introscope.agent.kafka.broker.broker1.jmx.include.filter) to include only the actually required metrics by using more specific patterns (i.e. narrow down the filter patterns to the required metrics only). For example, the kafka.log:* filter generates a very large number of metrics (e.g., topic "_consumer_offsets" that may not all be necessary.
• If all the configured filters are indeed required, then the only option would be to distribute the filters across multiple Kafka IA instances to balance the metric load.
