Build and monitor Kafka pipelines with Confluent Control Center | Confluent

What this post added

This post introduces Confluent Control Center, focusing on two key features: a Kafka Connect GUI for building data pipelines and Stream Monitoring for verifying end-to-end message delivery. The Kafka Connect GUI automatically renders forms for connectors based on the Kafka Connect API. Stream Monitoring provides end-to-end metrics, allowing users to drill down to individual clients, topics, and partitions to identify delivery issues. It also incorporates error detection for lost or duplicate messages and works with custom applications, Kafka Connect, and Kafka Streams via interceptors.
