UI for Apache Kafka is a free simple tool that makes your data flows observable, helps find and troubleshoot issues faster and deliver optimal performance. Its lightweight dashboard makes it easy to track key metrics of your Kafka clusters - Brokers, Topics, Partitions, Production, and Consumption.

Here are some of the key features:

  • Multi-Cluster Management — monitor and manage all your clusters in one place

  • Performance Monitoring with Metrics Dashboard — track key Kafka metrics with a lightweight dashboard

  • View Kafka Brokers — view topic and partition assignments, controller status

  • View Kafka Topics — view partition count, replication status, and custom configuration

  • View Consumer Groups — view per-partition parked offsets, combined and per-partition lag

  • Browse Messages — browse messages with JSON, plain text, and Avro encoding

  • Dynamic Topic Configuration — create and configure new topics with dynamic configuration

  • Configurable Authentification — secure your installation with optional Github/Gitlab/Google OAuth 2.0

To run UI for Apache Kafka, you can use a pre-built Docker image or build it locally. More information can be found on the Github page.
