Provide simple WEB UI

[mindscratch]

Not exactly what you're looking for but it's quite helpful https://github.com/yahoo/kafka-manager

[joestein]

Hey @mindscratch we modified kafka-manager for some of these https://github.com/stealthly/kafka-manager but not sure how maintainable that is going to be with upstream/downstream re-base. It would be great to have a single kafka-manager that can support implementations, agreed.

@joestein Maybe the "solution" is a React.js client that is a static bit of html + javascript and simply uses the existing HTTP api you've so nicely written for this framework?

@joestein If I understood correctly, you forked the yahoo/kafka-manager project and replaced the "JMX scheduler" with the mesos/kafka one, right?

[sjoerdmulder]

I have created a first version of the WebUI using Angular and Material Design here: https://github.com/sagentio/kafka/tree/feature/webui

Currently works:

• List brokers
• Start broker
• Stop broker
• Remove broker
• List topics

TODO:

• Add a broker
• Add a topic
• Update a topic
• Create overview / detail screens per broker / topic that shows more info.
• Add menu on the left and some logic navigation.

Please let me know what you think of it and if you would consider this usable!

@tobilg correct, we haven't integrated the admin though so that is still kafka-manager instead of through scheduler ... having it through the scheduler is important so we can have things like rackaware partition assignment, rebalancing, etc so it is more of a view only thing really

@sjoerdmulder cool, we'll take a look
