Kafka Connect
The Connect section lists all connectors registered with a configured Kafka Connect cluster. You can inspect connector status, view tasks and configuration, and perform basic operational actions.
Connecting to Kafka Connect
Add a Kafka Connect URL in the cluster’s Integrations tab:
http://kafka-connect.internal:8083Optional fields:
- Username / Password — Basic Auth
- CA Certificate — path to a PEM file for a custom CA
If Kafka Connect is not configured, the section shows a message prompting you to add the URL in cluster settings.
Connector list
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Connector name |
| Type | Source or Sink badge |
| Status | RUNNING (green), PAUSED (yellow), FAILED (red), UNASSIGNED (gray) |
| Tasks | Total task count; failed task count shown separately if any |
Use the search field to filter by connector name. Click Refresh to reload the list.
Connector detail
Click a connector to open its detail panel with three tabs:
Overview tab
Shows the connector type, current status, total task count, and the number of failed tasks (if any).
Tasks tab
Lists each task with its Task #, Status badge, and Worker ID. A Restart button is shown for tasks in FAILED state.
Configuration tab
Displays the full connector configuration as a key-value table. This is read-only.
Actions
Action buttons appear in the connector detail header:
| Action | Effect |
|---|---|
| Pause | Suspends all tasks; the connector remains registered |
| Resume | Resumes a paused connector |
| Restart | Restarts the entire connector and all its tasks |
While an action is in progress, the button shows “Working…” and is disabled until the operation completes.
Use Restart on a FAILED connector after resolving the underlying cause — for example, a network issue, misconfigured credentials, or an unavailable target system.
Limitations
The Connect view provides read access and basic operational control of existing connectors. The following are not available from the interface:
- Creating new connectors
- Deleting connectors
- Editing connector configuration
- Installing or listing connector plugins
