Bulk operations on Connectors in KafkaConnect views

[akamensky]

Is your proposal related to a problem?

Sometimes (in our case quite often) we need to do bulk operations on all (or large subset) of connectors, such as restarting all tasks, or pause/resume/delete

Describe the solution you'd like

• Allow selecting all/some connectors in list view (i.e. checkbox style selecting them)
• (optional) if some filter applied (via search bar) ability to select all in this filter results
• Add buttons to list view to do following for all currently selected connectors:
• • Pause
• • Resume
• • Restart all tasks
• • (optional) Restart only failed tasks

Describe alternatives you've considered

Currently the only alternative is to click on each connector individually and do operations on each one at the time

Hi,

thanks for the suggestion. This sounds like a nice feature to have, we'll plan it for the next releases (0.4 or 0.5 probably).

1. Make connectors selectable one by one with checkboxes, like topics
2. Make it possible to apply actions to the subset of connectors: restart connector, restart all tasks, restart failed tasks
3. Use buttons like in topics:

Isn't this implemented already. Because I can select multiple topics and can delete and purge messages

@AlphaDecodeX it's for connectors, not topics.
