Environment Topic Catalogue

Allow users to create and manage their topics and apply topic settings as guard rails.

Topics can be accessed via the Global Data Catalogue or at an environment level.

Creating topics

To create a topic go to Environments->[Your Environment]->Workspace->Explore->New Topic. Enter the name, partitions and replication factor.

If topic settings apply, you will not be able to create the topic unless the rules have been met.

Viewing topic details

The Explore screen lists high-level details of the topics

Selecting a topic allows you to drill into more details.

Topics marked for deletion will be highlighted with a D.

Compacted topics will be highlighted with a C.

Increasing the number of partitions

To increase the number of partitions, select the topic, then select Increase Partitions from the actions menu. Increasing the number of partitions does not automatically rebalance the topic.

Overriding a topic configurations

Topics inherit their configurations from the broker defaults. To override a configuration, select the topic, then the Configuration tab. Search for the desired configuration and edit its value.

Deleting topics

To delete a topic, click the trash can icon.

Topics can only be deleted if all clients reading or writing to the topic have been stopped. The topic will be marked for deletion with a D until the clients have stopped.

Empty or compacted topics

To quickly find compacted or empty topics use quick filter checkboxes, for example, you can find all empty topics and perform a bulk delete action on them.
