Release date: 2022-11-18

Discover the latest version of Conduktor in 1.5.1, packed with an array of upgrades across the platform and its solutions. The Console introduces advanced features like the ability to reset offsets based on a "datetime" strategy, duplicating Consumer Groups, updating Topics configuration, and resetting Topics configuration. The Platform brings enhanced functionality with support for external S3 storage for monitoring data and custom Truststore configuration for SSL/TLS connections. Additionally, LDAP connection for SSO now offers more configuration parameters. Testing gains a structured summary in the console and AWS IAM default credential chain compliance. Monitoring allows users to select a custom date/time range and displays the number of messages per second without configuring a JMX agent. The Admin section receives improvements with enhanced cluster UI and simplified clusters configuration. Several fixes address issues across the Platform, Console, Testing, and Data Masking, ensuring a smoother user experience.

Features ✨​

  • Platform

    • Add support of external S3 storage for monitoring data. see documentation

    • IAM support: Our io.conduktor.aws.IAMClientCallbackHandler class used to configure IAM in the Platform now complies with the "credentials provider chain" mechanism of AWS.
      It'll first try to find your credentials/role on your machine, as software.amazon.msk.auth.iam.IAMClientCallbackHandler would do. If nothing is found, then it'll use our mechanism. For more info, see documentation.
      To summarize, our io.conduktor.aws.IAMClientCallbackHandler class can now be used as a drop-in replacement of software.amazon.msk.auth.iam.IAMClientCallbackHandler in your Kafka properties:
properties: |
  security.protocol=SASL_SSL
  sasl.mechanism=AWS_MSK_IAM
  sasl.jaas.config=software.amazon.msk.auth.iam.IAMLoginModule required;
  sasl.client.callback.handler.class=io.conduktor.aws.IAMClientCallbackHandler
