would it be possible to change the kafka-exporter to: https://github.com/danielqsj/kafka_exporter as it is under active development ?

Hey @langerma, thanks for the heads-up. We are currently using a forked version of the kafka exporter. Is there any new feature that needs to be added to the agent? cc @gaantunes

danielqsj/kafka_exporter has consumergroup_lag and is still alive. Last commit 2 months ago vs 3 years ago in davidmparrott/kafka_exporter

danielqsj/kafka_exporter is better and more stable

Hi folks, cross-post my discovery here.

Hi there :wave:

On April 9, 2024, Grafana Labs announced Grafana Alloy, the spirital successor to Grafana Agent and the final form of Grafana Agent flow mode. As a result, Grafana Agent has been deprecated and will only be receiving bug and security fixes until its end-of-life around November 1, 2025.

To make things easier for maintainers, we're in the process of migrating all issues tagged variant/flow to the Grafana Alloy repository to have a single home for tracking issues. This issue is likely something we'll want to address in both Grafana Alloy and Grafana Agent, so just because it's being moved doesn't mean we won't address the issue in Grafana Agent :)
