Features / Improvements & Fixes

Changelog details for Lenses 6.1.0

New 🎉

Kafka Connections

Kafka Connections allow administrators to define connections to Kafka as Kubernetes secrets or service accounts, that reference the credentials to connect with.

Most organisations already use secret providers such as AWS Secret Manager or Vault, and sync these to Kubernetes secrets automatically. This ensures Lenses or users deploying applications never need to deal with the credentials themselves.

See the documentation to get started.

Kafka to Kafka Replication

Lenses Kafka to Kafka Replicator is now integrated into Lenses. You can configure and deploy Lenses, with predefined Kafka Connections to move data between AWS MSK IAM clusters.

More cluster authentication methods and providers coming soon!

See the documentation to get started.

Improvements 💪

Configure Agent Provisioning from HQ

You can now create an environment and configure the Agent provisioning directly from HQ. JSON schema support is added, providing syntax highlighting, auto completion and error reporting.

You can also view and edit the existing provisioning files of agents already connected.

SQL Studio

SQL Studio is moving forward again, and now brings a more IDE style experience. An improved tree navigation provides:

1. Improved search functionality

2. Expanded topics nodes to browse schemas and consumer groups associated with topics

3. Context menu support to allow actions on topics

4. Bookmarking of favourite topics.

Performance

Enhanced the performance of the environments screen, making it more responsive and capable of handling larger datasets.
