Kafka brokers

In Console, the Brokers page provides the broker list and information about the current state of your Kafka cluster, including:

  • total number of brokers
  • controller status (shows whether the selected broker is the controller or not)
  • the version of your Kafka Cluster
  • whether all brokers are configured the same or not (yes/no)

Brokers tab​

This is the default view that shows a key metrics graph and a table listing all your brokers. You can sort the view or search for a specific broker.

Click on a broker in the table to see its details:

  • Hostname path
  • Number of partitions
  • Number of replicas
  • Number of URPs (Under-Replicated Partitions)
  • Configuration tab - search and view the list properties/values. Click Raw view to view or copy the raw broker data.
  • Logs tab - view topics, partitions, offset lag and more
  • Graphs tab - see disk usage and partition count graphs

Graphs tab​

This tab lets you visualize the current and past state of your Kafka clusters on metrics like:

  • Produce and consume rate
  • Disk usage
  • Total partition count
  • Offline, under replicated and under min ISR partition count

Each graph can be adjusted to show data for the past 24 hours, or one/seven/thirty day periods.

You can get notified of changes in any of these metrics as each graph can alerts set up.

To add an alert, click the alert icon. A side panel will open, allowing you to set parameters configure the triggers for your alert.

Alerts tab​

Manage existing and create new alerts for the selected broker.
