# Understanding the Transformation Hub Kafka Manager

The Transformation Hub Kafka Manager enables you to monitor and manage your clusters, topics, and partitions, and perform the following tasks:

- Viewing and managing cluster states, including topics, consumers, offsets, broker nodes, replica distribution, and partition distribution.

- Creating and updating topics.

- Generating partitions and adding partitions to a topic.
- Reassigning partitions to other broker nodes, such as replacing a failed node with a new one.

- Reassigning partition leaders to their preferred broker node after a node temporarily leaves the cluster (for example, in case of a reboot).
- Managing JMX polling for broker-level and topic-level metrics.
