Issue: If no metrics are available.: Solution: Examine if all configured Prometheus targets are running.
Issue: You observe incorrect metrics in SMM.: Solution: Examine up metrics to determine if scraping failed at certain points in time.
Issue: If Prometheus does not start up or scrape right after Kafka startup, or Prometheus is down for some time, scrapped metric values might be unusually high.: Solution: This situation can be avoided by querying the endpoints manually with the update=true parameter and then starting Prometheus.
