Say hi to your new favourite manager.
The #1 tool to monitor and administrate your Apache Kafka cluster.
Fast & Reliable
The CloudKarafka Manager acts as a standalone application. It's not affected by the health of your cluster. So you can retrieve critical information when you need it the most.
Minimal Footprint
The manager is written in Go. It consists of thin wrappers around existing plugins. No virtual machines are in use here and therefore far less CPU and Ram is required.
Efficient troubleshooting
Automatic diagnostics, timely graphs and data tables give you a good overview of what is going on in your cluster. With the possibility to deep-dive for further investigation.
Historical Data
A Kafka plugin samples data on a regular basis, and saves it to a database. Making it possible to monitor the health of your cluster backward in time.

How it works
-
CloudKarafka Manager is shipped with a Kafka plugin called cloudkarafka-http-reporter . It collects metrics from your entire Kafka cluster on a regular basis and saves it to a database. The result is a manager that is great not only for administration but also for monitoring. Even if the cluster is unresponsive at the moment.
-
All data is requested and collected via the http-api that is used in the communication between the app and Kafka + Zookeper. The app itself is running locally in Go’s runtime system and is accessible through your web browser. The end result is a manager where you can keep track of the health of the cluster, retrieve historical data and render beautiful graphs - with no interruption.
Stay on top with built-in diagnostics
The CloudKarafka Manager will help you via notifications for common errors and mis-configurations.
Under-replicated partitions
You have 5 under-replicated partitions on Broker A
Uneven spread of partitions
Your cluster has an uneven partition spread. Broker B has 20% of the total number (100) of partitions. This will have a negative impact on the throughput.
Uneven spread of leaders
Your cluster has an uneven leader spread. Broker C is the leader of 80% of the total number (100) of partitions. This will have a negative impact on the throughput.
Why an another Apache Kafka Manager?
The CloudKarafka Manager takes a more user centered approach... Most Kafka Managers are built around this extreme use case: an enterprise expert managing multiple clusters. The result is a confusing and complex management interface, at least for the majority of Kafka users.
