# Monitoring the Connector

> Resources for monitoring the connector's performance. 

The Kafka Connect framework exposes basic status information over a REST interface. Fine-grained metrics, including the number of processed messages and the rate of processing, are available via JMX. For more information, see [Monitoring Kafka Connect and Connectors](https://docs.confluent.io/current/connect/managing/monitoring.html) (published by Confluent, also applies to a standard Apache Kafka distribution).
