Jay Kreps commented on KAFKA-266:
---------------------------------
My take is that, as Joe says, most serious folks already have some system they
use for monitoring across their stack (ganglia or whatever). To really work
operationally you can't try to replace this or add a new system. For this
reason, I kind of prefer the web app to be an optional stand-alone thing since
it may not be of use to everyone, though i think that complicates its design
(potentially). I think the advantage of the web app is custom display of very
kafka-specific things (the audit, cluster status, etc).

> Key: KAFKA-266
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-266
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: contrib
> Reporter: Evan Chan
> Original Estimate: 672h
> Remaining Estimate: 672h
>
> This issue is created to track a community-contributed Kafka Web UI.
> Here is an initial list of goals:
> - Be able to easily see which brokers are up
> - Be able to see lists of topics, connected producers, consumer groups,
> connected consumers
> - Be able to see, for each consumer/partition, its offset, and more
> importantly, # of bytes unconsumed (== largest offset for partition - current
> offset)
> - (Wish list) have a graphical view of the offsets
> - (Wish list) be able to clean up consumer state, such as stale claimed
> partitions
> List of challenges/questions:
> - Which framework? Play! for Scala?
> - Is all the data available from JMX and ZK? Hopefully, watching the files
> on the filesystem can be avoided....
> - How to handle large numbers of topics, partitions, consumers, etc.
> efficiently
