Chapter 8. Streams for Apache Kafka Console overview

The Streams for Apache Kafka Console provides a user interface to facilitate the administration of Kafka clusters, delivering real-time insights for monitoring, managing, and optimizing each cluster from its user interface.

Connect a Kafka cluster managed by Streams for Apache Kafka to gain real-time insights and optimize cluster performance from its user interface. The console’s homepage displays connected Kafka clusters, allowing you to access detailed information on components such as brokers, topics, partitions, and consumer groups.

From the console, 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.
