Topic Management Service

Front end to manage Kafka topics.

Apache Kafka uses the concept of named, persistent topics – which can be browsed and configured for the desired data retention and scalability.

The Topic Management Service provides a REST API and a web user interface to set topics up for use with ATLAS Advanced Streams.

Of course, Kafka can be managed with command-line tools, but this service provides a convenient web front-end to create, edit and delete topics.

Prerequisites

• Java 8 x64 or later
• Kafka 0.11 or later

Installation

Run the msi installer that you can find in the released ECU Bridge zipped folder.
