Kafka Manager

A tool for managing Apache Kafka.

compiler version for direct usage Requirements

  1. Kafka 0.8.. or 0.9.. or 0.10..
  2. Java 8+

Configuration

The minimum configuration is the zookeeper hosts which are to be used for kafka manager state. This can be found in the application.conf file in conf directory. The same file will be packaged in the distribution zip file; you may modify settings after unzipping the file on the desired server.

kafka-manager.zkhosts="my.zookeeper.host.com:2181"

You can specify multiple zookeeper hosts by comma delimiting them, like so:

kafka-manager.zkhosts="my.zookeeper.host.com:2181,other.zookeeper.host.com:2181"

Alternatively, use the environment variable ZK_HOSTS if you don't want to hardcode any values.

ZK_HOSTS="my.zookeeper.host.com:2181"

Starting the service

After extracting the produced zipfile, and changing the working directory to it, you can run the service like this:

$ bin/kafka-manager

By default, it will choose port 9000. This is overridable, as is the location of the configuration file. For example:

$ bin/kafka-manager -Dconfig.file=/path/to/application.conf -Dhttp.port=8080

Again, if java is not in your path, or you need to run against a different version of java, add the -java-home option as follows:

$ bin/kafka-manager -java-home /usr/local/oracle-java-8
