Kafka Center allows you to do the following:

1. Monitor producers and consumers with graphs and the ability to easily configure email alerts for thresholds.
2. Let your users request topics and monitor topics themselves in a simple web UI.
3. Access the Kafka ecosystem (Kafka, KSQL, Kafka Connect, Kafka Manager) in one combined UI.
