Chapter 3. Navigating the Streams for Apache Kafka Console
When you open the Streams for Apache Kafka Console, the homepage presents a list of connected Kafka clusters. By clicking on a Kafka cluster name on the homepage or from the side menu, you can find information on the following components:
- Kafka clusters
- A group of Kafka brokers and management components.
- Brokers
- A broker contains topics and orchestrates the storage and passing of messages.
- Topics
- A topic provides a destination for the storage of data. Kafka splits each topic into one or more partitions.
- Partitions
- A subset of a topic used for data sharding and replication. The number of partitions is defined in the topic configuration.
- Consumer groups
- Kafka groups consumers with the same group ID and distributes messages across group members. Consumers within a group receive data from one or more partitions.
For example, you can view the status of a Kafka cluster before navigating to view information on the cluster’s brokers and topics, or the consumer groups connected to the Kafka cluster.
Note
If the side menu is not visible, click the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines) in the console header.
