ASK YOUR KAFKA CLUSTER WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING.
Connect Apache Kafka to Menza and ask about clusters, brokers, topics, partitions and consumer groups in plain English — which groups are lagging, how partitions are spread, what a topic's config really says. Menza reads live through the official Kafka REST API, and config changes it proposes only happen once you approve.
- Reads databases data
- Can take action on Apache Kafka, once you approve
- Connects via the official API
What can Menza do with Apache Kafka?
Fix config drift with approval
Menza reads topic configs across the cluster, flags the ones out of line with your standards, and proposes fixes — retention, partitions, cleanup policy — that apply only once you approve.
Catch consumer lag before it hurts
Ask which consumer groups are falling behind and Menza reads lag live per topic and partition, telling you whether it's a slow consumer or a traffic spike doing the damage.
Answer cluster questions without the CLI
How many partitions, which brokers lead them, what's the retention on events.raw — Menza answers from live cluster metadata, so nobody shells into a broker just to check.
See these answers on your own Apache Kafka data.
Menza working with Apache Kafka.
Menza doesn't just answer questions about Apache Kafka — it proposes the fix and, once you approve, does the work. You stay in control; nothing changes until you say go.
Menzajust nowConsumer group orders-etl is 1.2M messages behind on orders.v2 — lag has tripled in six hours. I'll raise the topic's retention from 24 to 72 hours so nothing expires before the group catches up.
Menza6m agoTopic events.raw now holds 39% of the cluster's partitions, and three brokers carry most of that load. I'll create the agreed events.raw.archive topic with 16 partitions so you can start splitting the stream.

Is my Apache Kafka data secure?
Your credentials are encrypted at rest and never exposed to the AI. Menza reads your data through the provider's official API using the access you grant, and you stay in control of what it can do — read-only by default, with any actions gated behind your approval.

Apache Kafka questions, answered.
How does Menza connect to Apache Kafka?
With the credentials for your cluster's REST endpoint — pasted once, encrypted at rest, and never shown to the AI. Menza calls the official Kafka REST API server-side to read clusters, brokers, topics, partitions and consumer groups. Nothing is installed on your brokers.
What can Menza answer about my Kafka data?
Cluster and broker state, topics and their configs, partition layout and leadership, and consumer groups with their lag. Ask "which groups are behind and by how much?" or "what's the retention on our busiest topics?" and Menza reads the live metadata to answer.
Is my Kafka cluster safe with Menza?
Yes. Credentials are encrypted at rest and never exposed to the AI, and Menza reaches only what they permit. This connector supports actions — topic and config changes — but any action waits for your explicit approval; nothing on the cluster changes on its own.
Which Kafka setups does this work with?
Any cluster that exposes the Kafka REST API v3 — managed services and self-hosted deployments alike. Connect the REST endpoint's credentials and Menza can read cluster, broker, topic, partition and consumer-group state from there, whichever way you run Kafka.
