kafka_exporter: error: unexpected true, try --help

[sunxuming2018]

--server. tls. enabled=true. Setting either true or false will result in an error.

kafka_exporter --kafka.server=IP:9092 --web.listen-address=:9309 --server.tls.enabled=true --server.tls.cert-file=kafka_exporter.crt --server.tls.key-file=kafka_exporter.key

This section helps explain how to deal with this.

You need to use --server.tls.enabled to set enable it and --no-server.tls.enabled for true/false arguments

[sunxuming2018]

Setting -- server. tls. enabled=enable -- no server. tls. enabled=true still reports an error.
./kafka_exporter --kafka.server=10.26.248.252:9092 --web.listen-address=:9308 --server.tls.enabled=enable --no-server.tls.enabled=true --server.tls.cert-file=kafka_exporter.crt --server.tls.key-file=kafka_exporter.key
