Murat Derman shows how you can use Prometheus and Grafana to track vital measures on an Apache Kafka cluster:

You can add  scrape_interval parameter in your configuration by default it is  every 1 minute  scrape_interval: 5s

Prometheus has its own query language called promql. You can learn more about this language from this here https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/basics/ 

There are lot of metrics you can define for Kafka. I will mention  a few  of them in this article
