burrow - Kafka Consumer Lag Checking

Tool for viewing information about kafka via REST. Based on github.com/linkedin/Burrow

Run locally

1. Either you open two tunnels for the two ports for Kafka and Zookeeper in one of our clusters: ssh -L 9092:localhost:9092 core@xp-tunnel-up.ft.com & ssh -L 2181:localhost:2181 core@xp-tunnel-up.ft.com or you download and run kafka locally (this is recommended more).
2. go get github.com/linkedin/Burrow
3. cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/linkedin/Burrow
4. git checkout v0.1.1
5. gpm install
6. go install
7. Burrow --config config/burrow.cfg

Burrow, simply got from github, to be run with the configuration set up in this project's config. You can try querying it on its REST endpoints to give you information about your Kafka. e.g.

curl localhost:8081/v2/kafka/local/consumer

Info

Logs of Burrow are in burrow.out as well inside the container.
