Description

Burrow is starting and seem to be working, but in reality it is not providing any consumer metrics of any Kafka cluster. It's because I have about 10 Kafka clusters and 2-3 of them are not working (e.g. for testing purposes).

If I remove those testing clusters from the burrow and all other remaining clusters are working fine - Burrow is also working fine.

Am I missing something or is it intended behavior?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the configuration with several Kafka clusters, including unreachable testing clusters, and inspect Burrow's cluster startup and consumer-metrics behavior. The issue is resolved when reachable clusters still provide consumer metrics while other configured clusters are unavailable, with the intended behavior established.
