JMX Metrics

The Agent can collect Schema registry metrics via:

1. JMX

• AVRO

• PROTOBUF

JSON and XML formats are supported by Lenses but without a backing schema registry.

Schema deletion

To enable the deletion of schemas in the UI, set the following in the lenses.conf file.

lenses.conf

## Enable schema deletion in the Lenses UI
## default: false
lenses.schema.registry.delete = true

## When a topic is deleted,
## automatically delete also its associated Schema Registry subjects
