Components

Karafka Web UI data aggregation is combined out of a few stages:

  • Tracking - Refers to collecting per-consumer and other data related to each process's operations.
  • Processing - Refers to taking the tracking data and building proper representation models around it for presentation.
  • Presenting - Refers to all the work needed to present the data via the Web UI.

This conceptual separation impacts the Web code design. It is divided into three main pieces:

  • Tracking - All the code related to per-process data tracking and reporting to Kafka
  • Processing- All code related to processing the tracked data and their aggregation
  • Web - All code related to the presentation layer

Below you can find the diagram of the whole data flow:
