While using a Kafka cluster, engineers need to be able to monitor the cluster's health to make sure everything is running smoothly. If a producer or consumer goes down, it's vital for teams to be alerted and have strategies in place to respond as efficiently as possible. Adding topics, partitions, consumers, and balancing the load is essential for Kafka admins. Being able to access the metrics and visualized data on the status of a Kafka cluster is a must in this day and age where every millisecond counts.
