Kafbat UI is a free, open-source web UI for monitoring and managing Apache Kafka clusters, supporting multi-cluster management, topic and message browsing, schema registry, and Kafka Connect administration. It is a continuation of the UI for Apache Kafka project maintained by original contributors.

Use cases

  • manage kafka clusters from a web ui
  • browse and search kafka messages
  • monitor kafka brokers topics and partitions
  • manage kafka connect connectors
  • manage confluent schema registry schemas
  • administer multiple kafka clusters in one dashboard
  • troubleshoot kafka consumer lag and message issues

When to choose

  • you need a free self-hosted UI for one or many Kafka clusters
  • you want message search with CEL filtering and SerDe pluggability
  • you need schema registry and Kafka Connect management in one place
  • you want RBAC, auth, and audit logging for Kafka administration

When to avoid

  • you use a message broker other than Kafka
  • you need a CLI-only or API-only management tool
  • you require a commercial vendor-backed support contract
