Restarting a failed task

[samanta1983]

The restart button in the UI attempts to restart the connector.

"POST /connectors/ES-sink/restart HTTP/1.1" 204 - 18 (org.apache.kafka.connect.runtime.rest.RestServer:60)

Is it possible to restart individual task from the UI?

/connectors/ES-sink/restart/tasks/0/restart

Hi @samanta1983,
Restarting a task from kafka-connect-ui is a functionality that we are planning to add in the near future. Unfortunately I cannot give you an ETA right now.

Hi @samanta1983 @jglambed . It seems that already existed RESTful api to suport the new feature. $ curl -X POST localhost:8083/connectors/file-sink/tasks/0/restart | jq.

@jglambed @asdf2014 Could you release a new version with the restart task button? Would help immenseley with a very unstable connector we are running..

Hi @lixiandai. This feature is on docker hub since July.
You can get it either by pulling the latest tag, or one of 0.9.5 and 0.9.6.

If you can't see the button, try to hard-refresh your browser. For Chrome you would bring up the developer console, then press F5.
