Detect kafka events in kiali

4/3/2019

I'm doing a microservice architecture using istio and kubernetes and two microservices are using kafka to communicate with each other. I enabled kiali to vizualise my service mesh but my problem is that I found no way to see the kafka's events represented in kiali.

Does anyone know how I could do that? (tell me if you need more information)

There was a couple of issues recently fixed in Kiali to have services such as Kafka correctly represented. See https://github.com/kiali/kiali/issues/2197.

In the current version, you shouldn't have any problem to see traffic flowing through Kafka brokers. Don't hesitate to open an issue on Kiali GitHub is it's not the case.
