Security of Monitoring Data
If your enterprise uses secure Apache Kafka brokers, then data is secure as it travels from Apache Kafka producers to Apache Kafka brokers, and on to Apache Kafka consumers.
If your Apache Kafka brokers are configured to secure JMX access, any monitoring-statistics-related communications between the TIBCO monitoring components and the Apache Kafka Brokers will be secured as well.
Monitoring Gateway
The monitoring gateway (tibkmongateway) supports SSL to secure its connection to each Apache Kafka broker. Administrators must supply appropriate security information when configuring the gateway.
InfluxDB
The monitoring gateway can secure its connection to InfluxDB.
Administrators must supply appropriate security information (such as certificates) when configuring InfluxDB to operate in a secure manner. See the InfluxDB documentation for more information.
Grafana
Grafana can use a secure connection to query InfluxDB.
Administrators must supply appropriate security information (such as certificates) when configuring Grafana to operate in a secure manner. See the Grafana documentation for more information.
As installed, Grafana is configured with an administrative user ID admin and an associated password admin. The password should be changed by the administrator after installation.
