Simple Kafka topic viewer intended for xAPI traffic.

xAPI Kafka Viewer

Simple WebSocket-based xAPI viewer for a Kafka cluster.

This repo is just the service without any additional deployment guidance, but does contain a Dockerfile to streamline that.

Setup

Setup is pretty straightforward, as it's just a basic NodeJS Express app.

tl;dr:

• git clone https://github.com/vbhayden/kafka-xapi-viewer
• cd kafka-xapi-viewer
• cp config.example.js config.js
• Populate the config.js file (see comments in-file and/or notes below)
• npm install
• node app.js

Setting the Config Values

The example config file is commented to help with settings things up, but it's not too bad. Mainly, you'll need to specify two things:

• The Kafka brokers to use
• The Kafka topics to monitor

Additionally, the Kafka adapter supports plaintext SASL auth (also commented), but this isn't a requirement.
