Viewing Avro-serialized JSON messages

Open GHGautamGH opened this issue 8 years ago • 5 comments

Hi,

My Kafka topics contain Avro-serialized JSON messages and I cannot view those correctly now. Is there a way-out?

Also it would be nice to know whether the following features are available or in roadmap --

  1. Viewing the number of messages for individual topics on the Home Page (Cluster Overview page)
  2. Periodic auto-refresh of the home page
  3. Any plans to include monitoring of Kafka-connect workers/tasks

Thanks in advance.

I have a fork that adds Schema Registry integration for parsing Avro. Are people interested in this still?

Yes, I had assumed that viewing of Avro encoded messages would be possible so disappointed that it's not.

does kafdrop work with kafka 0.9 and above where offsets are maintained in a separate topic. When I try with kafka 0.9 or above I see not all consumers are fetched.

If I can get permission to create/update a branch I'll push these changes.I

I was also interested in this feature, but I couldn't find @JNLevin's fork. So here's a pull request with my changes to enable viewing of Avro-serialized messages in case anyone here wants a starting point: https://github.com/HomeAdvisor/Kafdrop/pull/33
