What is it?

Know Streaming is a web-based management and monitoring platform for Apache Kafka. It targets day-to-day operations such as cluster onboarding, broker and topic management, consumer group inspection, and health checks, so that operators can handle Kafka without working through command-line tools for every task.

The platform manages existing Kafka clusters without requiring changes to Apache Kafka itself. According to its documentation, it supports Kafka versions from 0.10.x through 3.x, in both ZooKeeper and KRaft modes. It exposes a GUI covering clusters, brokers, ZooKeeper, topics, consumer groups, messages, ACLs, and Kafka Connect.

Know Streaming is built to run as a horizontally scalable service with pluggable features for observability integration, resource governance, and multi-active disaster recovery. It is aimed at teams running multiple Kafka clusters who need central visibility and control.
