Apache Kafka: Event Monitor

Product information "Apache Kafka: Event Monitor"

Apache Kafka is an open-source distributed event streaming platform used by thousands of companies for high-performance data pipelines, streaming analytics, data integration, and mission-critical applications. A Kafka Event Monitor is a Universal Extension responsible for monitoring events (messages) from topics in Kafka, and consuming an event based on filtering criteria via consumer group subscription.

Key Features

This Universal Extension supports the following main features:

  • Monitor messages and consume a Kafka message by consumer group topic subscription.
  • Authenticate against Kafka using PLAINTEXT, SASL_SSL or SSL security protocol
  • Capability to filter Kafka messages based on the value of the message. Number, String and JSON filter patterns are supported.
  • Capability to fetch dynamically Kafka topics, during task creation.
  • Capability to control the partition assignment strategy, as well as session-related timeout values
Typically this extension can be used to monitor events from Kafka and upon successful execution to trigger workflows or other tasks, or just to pass information related to the Kafka event within UAC.

What's New

Fixes
  • Fixed bug where the message offset could be committed ahead of the last processed message, causing unprocessed messages to be skipped on the next task execution.
