ABOUT APACHE KAFKA
Realize the full potential of Apache Kafka
As a commonly used stream processing platform, Apache Kafka offers a multitude of possibilities that can sometimes escape even the most seasoned developers and data engineers.
With a number of practical features and an intuitive user interface (UI), Kouncil allows them to take full advantage of the capabilities of Apache Kafka, helping boost productivity and enhancing collaboration within the team.
Support for developers
The crucial tasks of maintaining and optimizing the health of Kafka clusters as well as tracking key metrics are now made easier and more structured with Kouncil, as the intuitive web UI improves the efficiency of handling everyday operations in the system. These include observing consumer and broker groups, debugging processes, or browsing and reviewing topics in a clear layout.
One of the ways in which Kouncil supports the work of developers is through the use of CRUD operations. As a result, they can create events on topics, which facilitates communication and data flow between multiple clusters.
Additionally, to ensure greater flexibility and versatility of the tool, Kouncil has been designed to support such schema formats as JSON, Avro, and Protobuf.
Faster QA workflow
With the Kouncil open-source web UI, testers can browse Kafka topics, create new events, and observe the flow of events in the testing process.
The process of diagnosing issues is streamlined as well. Typically, developers or administrators would be informed about anomalies by email or through Jira. Then, they would proceed to review the logs and browse messages in order to identify the problem, which is not an efficient way of handling issues.
On the other hand, the event tracking function in Kouncil allows them to conveniently analyze how messages were processed in Kafka topics. The information is easily searchable and filtered, as well as displayed in a clear and structured way. This way of managing QA accelerates the identification of bugs, helping deliver optimal performance.
Self-service for business admins
Safely and securely exchanged across teams, data in Kouncil is presented in a clear, accessible way. It significantly improves the experience of business admins, who need an easy-to-use web UI that displays key metrics in a neat, coherent way.
As a result, business admins can work more independently with the platform, browsing and viewing topics, monitoring process workflows, and tracking events without the aid of IT admins.
Reduced workload for IT admins
Kouncil enables real-time monitoring of Kafka brokers, consumer groups, and event processing speed, which allows for instant identification of bottlenecks.
The UI provides all the dashboards and charts you need to monitor and manage the health of the platform, but you can also feed data to Zabbix or Grafana to track key metrics in those tools.
Additionally, the tool relieves IT admins of business administration because every authorized person may view topics without entering the CLI. It also streamlines the authentication process in Apache Kafka with easy access management.
EXPLORING DATA
Improve the security and quality of data utilized within Kafka
With Kouncil’s Apache Kafka UI, monitoring and managing events on Kafka topics is much improved, as you can efficiently utilize schemas to ensure high data integrity and reliability.
More convenient data management across Kafka brokers will further translate into accelerated data adoption and greater data utilization among teams and partners, without the risk of duplication or inconsistencies.
APACHE KAFKA MONITORING
Keep tabs on your system’s health at all stages
Kouncil allows you to track key Kafka metrics in real time to more quickly and efficiently detect and identify issues.
In turn, faster troubleshooting and easier cluster management will help maintain infrastructure health and deliver optimal performance on a regular basis.
PROTECTING DATA
Keep your data safe and your access control organized
Kouncil has been curated to meet enterprise requirements and regulatory standards.
With security mechanisms such as advanced authentication options and data masking, you can now manage permissions within the system with granular precision and ensure enhanced data confidentiality.
