./bin/kafka-manager does not use ./conf/application.conf

[prune998]

It seems I can't have kafka-manager to use the conf/application.conf file... Have to specify the config options on the commandline using -D...

Is this normal behaviour ?

[mnarrell]

I see this as well. The good news is that this works when providing the flags at the command line

you're lucky... once started, kafka-manager does not see any of my 3 brokers even if connected to them (seen using lsof...)... still trying...

Did you try adding a cluster once the application is up? Kafka manager has its own zookeeper configuration which it uses to store its own configuration. In order to manage a cluster, you need to goto Cluster menu and Add Cluster and enter the config of the kafka zookeepers and version.

you can use -Dkafka-manager.zkhosts="host:2181"

I realized that without the command line option (-D...) kafka-manager tries to connect with the zkhost specified at the time of sbt clean dist. This error shows it connecting to localhost:49955 the zkhost I gave during compilation:
[error] o.a.c.ConnectionState - Connection timed out for connection string (0.0.0.0:49955) and timeout (15000) / elapsed (15031)

I think this is related to #16.

you must "Add cluster" at first.
