MSGMX Apache Kafka Monitoring and Commands

Bottom Status Bar

The bottom status bar displays one of several status messages providing key information about the currently managed application.

• The total number of under-replicated partitions at all configured Apache Kafka Brokers for the currently connected cluster (this is the default status bar display)
• Apache Kafka Brokers available for the currently connected cluster
• Number of clusters to which you are connected

To cycle through the different status bar displays, press F1.

Command Overview

The Apache Kafka commands supported by MSGMX have an intuitive correlation with native Apache Kafka command combinations and tasks while providing a flexible and assistive interface that frees you from the arcane syntax and limitations of using the native Apache Kafka scripts.

All MSGMX Apache Kafka commands start with a verb that states the action to be taken—create, delete, list, etc. These verbs are listed in this manual in alphabetical order for easy reference.

Commands have options or flags that can be required or optional. (Options require an argument while flags do not.) A required option or flag is a selection from a list of choices. Optional ones are shown in this document enclosed in "[ ]". Free text entry is designated as <FreeTextEntry>.
