With the new Metrics Reporter now at CR3, it's time to consider integration with the rest of the Streams Cluster-Operator. Adding support for the Operator will be multifaceted and need chamges to many areas of the Operator.

Currently the Kafka metricsConfig only supports jmxPrometheusExporter with the following configuration:

 
metricsConfig:
  type: jmxPrometheusExporter
    valueFrom:
       configMapKeyRef:
            name: kafka-metrics
            key: kafka-metrics-config.yml
 
To enable metric reporters, Strimzi users would use a configuration like the following:

 
metricsConfig:
    type: strimziMetricsReporter
    values:
       allowList:
           - "kafka_log.*"
           - "kafka_network.*"
