Kafka Manager is a web-based management interface and monitoring tool for Apache Kafka clusters. It serves as a central control plane for topic administration, consumer monitoring, and cluster health inspection.
The project provides specialized utilities for data rebalancing and partition reassignment to distribute workloads across brokers. It also includes tools to optimize partition leadership by electing preferred replicas.
The platform covers a broad range of administrative capabilities, including the creation and configuration of message topics, tracking of consumer offsets, and the collection of broker performance metrics. Access to these operations is managed through identity validation and role-based restrictions via directory servers.
