Kouncil 1.9
We have added several new features in the latest version of Kouncil 1.9:
EXPLORING DATA
The easiest way to ensure data integrity in Apache Kafka
The use of a reliable UI for Apache Kafka can significantly improve the quality and efficiency of the work of developers, testers, and business admins across different stages. As these user groups have different expertise and skill levels, a need arises for a simple tool with a lightweight dashboard that will present key metrics and essential information in a transparent way.
From development through testing, Kouncil helps users from different backgrounds comprehensively understand data streams. With this approach, future problems in production can be prevented, as the utilization of schemas supports the integrity and reliability of data.
In this way, Kouncil provides a versatile Apache Kafka UI that lets users freely browse and look up events, monitoring data flows and ensuring greater data adoption for optimal performance within the system.
FEATURES
Live update
In order to make informed decisions, one needs to base them on data that is both accurate and up-to-date. Working with Apache Kafka’s distributed architecture, you might be wondering: can a free tool deliver reliable and timely insights?
It most certainly can—while processing or analyzing events with Kouncil, you do not need to refresh the table repeatedly, as each new event will be added automatically.
As a result, you can always be certain that you have access to real time data, which will make the process of monitoring and managing events in Apache Kafka more efficient and less error-prone.
FEATURES
Display event details
In addition to providing real time data updates, Kouncil’s Kafka UI offers a convenient way of exploring and analyzing events by enabling access to source records.
What is more, in line with the tool’s intuitive user interface, event details are clearly displayed in a table format. This layout provides a manageable way of browsing even large numbers of records, ranging from single partitions to entire topics. As a result, you can find the data you need and sort it in a matter of seconds.
To make this Kafka UI even more accessible and versatile, we have ensured that Kouncil supports a variety of data formats ranging from JSON through Avro to Protobuf schemas.
FEATURES
Event tracking
To efficiently monitor and manage Kafka events, one often needs to have access to exhaustive information detailing the way events move from one topic to another across the Apache Kafka pipeline.
Kouncil’s event tracking feature makes data management across Kafka topics easier and more efficient by making data flows observable. In order to review the path of a specific event or process, filtering in Kouncil can be performed manually, although the Track tab filters can also be populated automatically after clicking the header of the record in question.
As a result, whenever problems arise, you can identify and thoroughly analyze them in less time, which will allow you to troubleshoot issues faster.
FEATURES
Reading and creating data
As a highly efficient Kafka UI, Kouncil makes it possible for its users to both read data and perform manual operations, such as creating topic events.
Topic management in Kouncil is very comprehensive, as the tool allows you to create, edit, and even delete topics. Additionally, schemas assigned to those topics can be managed as well.
Here, the use of the schema registry allows for the validation of schemas for topic message data, further contributing to an increase in data integrity and reliability.
