Tool for viewing information about kafka via REST. Based on github.com/linkedin/Burrow
- Either you open two tunnels for the two ports for Kafka and Zookeeper in one of our clusters:
ssh -L 9092:localhost:9092 core@xp-tunnel-up.ft.com
&ssh -L 2181:localhost:2181 core@xp-tunnel-up.ft.com
or you download and run kafka locally (this is recommended more). go get github.com/linkedin/Burrow
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/linkedin/Burrow
git checkout v0.1.1
gpm install
go install
Burrow --config config/burrow.cfg
Burrow, simply got from github, to be run with the configuration set up in this project's config. You can try querying it on its REST endpoints to give you information about your Kafka. e.g.
curl localhost:8081/v2/kafka/local/consumer
Logs of Burrow are in burrow.out
as well inside the container.
