Configuring the Kafka Manager

To setup Kafka Manager, navigate to http://localhost:9000 and complete the following steps:

• Select Cluster and Add Cluster
• Enter a cluster name e.g. events_cluster
• Enter a cluster ZooKeeper Host e.g. zookeeper:2181
• Select a Kafka version matching the kafka image e.g. 0.10.1 or the highest available.
• Save changes

To enable metrics and consumers you will need to provide the following configuration:

• Enable Enable JMX Polling (Set JMX_PORT env variable before starting kafka server)
• Enable Poll consumer information (Not recommended for large # of consumers)
• Enable Enable Active OffsetCache (Not recommended for large # of consumers)
• Enable Display Broker and Topic Size (only works after applying this patch)

This will present a confirmation showing that the cluster has been recreated.

You can then create additional topics by navigating to Topics and adding new topics with your desired name, replication factor, and number of partitions.
