Apache Kafka. Set up. Writing to. Reading from. Monitoring. Part 3

Now that we were able to communicate with our Kafka cluster by writing to and reading from it, we might be curious what we have there. What brokers we have, what are the offsets on different topics, etc.

The best way to grasp the big picture is tool that can give you nice graphical interface that is lightweight. I was able to find and get KafkaOffsetMonitor working on my cluster.

The instructions on the website are pretty easy to follow along so I won't repeat them here. Main point of this point is to make reader aware of KafkaOffsetMonitor tool to give start to end hands on experience with Kafka.

Enjoy!
