Enabling Access to Kafka Manager

Kafka Manager is the management tool used for maintenance, management, and monitoring of topics, partitions, consumers, and Kafka brokers. It is integrated with Fusion and supports single sign-on (SSO). The Fusion permission Manage Kafka is required for a user to access Kafka Manager.

In earlier versions of ArcSight Platform, the Manage Kafka permission was included by default in the Admin and System Admin roles. However, please note that with ArcSight Platform 22.1, the Manage Kafka permission is now included by default in the System Operations Administrator and System Admin roles, but is no longer included in the Admin role. If needed, you can manually add the Manage Kafka permission to the Admin role.

To access Kafka Manager:

  1. Browse to https://<cdf_masternode_hostname or virtual_ip hostname>/th/cmak
  2. Log in with a user account with the Manage Kafka permission and perform the required task.
  3. Log out by browsing to the Fusion home page: https://<cdf_masternode_hostname or virtual_ip hostname>/
