  1. As a Cloud platform engineer I need to provide the capability, to developers, to set quotas via Terraform when then set-up applications that will produce to/consume from a Kafka cluster.

  2. As a kafka user, I want to configure the threshold used to send CPU warning emails. Right now we are getting emails because the CPU exceeds 50%, which is irrelevant. We know we can configure the emails to go to another mail address but in that case we would loose all other technical mails as well.
    It would also be good for us if we can turn off that single alert.

  3. If an external Kafka service has brokers with hostnames that are not publicly resolvable, for example, where hostnames are registered in a corporate DNS server which is not accessible from outside, it is currently not possible for MM2 to successfully connect.

    The workaround to use IP addresses is not sufficient, since after bootstrap the broker hostnames will be returned and subsequent connections will go there.

    We will also likely see issues with TLS handshakes when brokers present certificates belonging to hostnames that the Aiven side does not understand.

    The only current workaround is for the configuration of the external Kafka…

  4. As a developer / operator,
    I want to see Kafka topics grouped by type in Aiven Console
    so that I can distinguish between topics created by Schema Registry, MirrorMaker2, Connect and directly in Kafka itself.
    In addition, i want to apply filters and sorting by type.

  5. As Software Engineer at Wex
    I want to send additional metrics to Datadog
    so that I can send important metrics from Aiven's cluster as these ones:
    IsrShrinksPerSec
    IsrExpandsPerSec
    ActiveControllerCount
    OfflinePartitionsCount
    TotalTimeMs
    PurgatorySize
    RequestsPerSec
    Network bytes sent/received
    BytesInPerSec/BytesOutPerSec

    According to Datadog's documentation, these metrics are considered highly significant.

  7. As a developer,
    I want to be notified when I have stale credentials in my connectors,
    so that I can update them and make sure connection from a connector to a source or sink system could be successfully established.

  8. As a developer,
    I want to connect to my Cassandra databases,
    so that I can use Change Data Capture (CDC) pattern to be notified about data changes and can ingest that data in to my data streaming pipeline for further use and processing.

  9. As a developer
    I want to use a REST API against my Kafka instance
    so that I can write simple scripts without using client libraries.

    It doesn't seem like there's comprehensive API documentation for what endpoints and functionality are supported by the Karapace REST API. The website says it's a drop-in replacement for the Kafka REST API proxy but unless that comes with guarantees that it'll stay up-to-date with any changes in the Confluent Kafka REST API proxy, it's hard to trust that. Some users may find it preferable to just have the documentation for Karapace's endpoints.

  11. using prometheus endpoint at our kafka-service we need to have metrics from kafka with type .

    see below the metrics have notype - this should be set at the endpoint ,to ease the use of these metrics .
    see example

    TYPE kafkaservergroupcoordinatormetricsgroupcompletedrebalancecount untyped

    TYPE kafkaservergroupcoordinatormetricsoffsetcommit_rate untyped

  12. As an organization (DevOps/Security/Vendor Manager) using Aiven Kafka,
    we want to determine the last connected cert status of Kafka users,
    so that we can know whether a kafka user certificate has been successfully updated.

    We automate certificate rolling to an extent with terraform. Different teams of devs generally own their section of terraform creating Kafka users. As of right now every two years those certs expire, and clicking the "Yes I've updated" in the Aiven console just silences the alert, and provides no real time verification from the running kafka that a certificate has been updated.

    This means a user…

  13. As a Kafka user
    I want to be able to have consumers fetch from the closest replica (KIP-392)
    so that I can reduce Inter-AZ costs
    In addition, this will also reduce latency of consumer calls.

  14. As a managed Kafka administrator
    I want to have the ability to black-list a bunch of IP addresses I believe are suspicious from my Kafka service, so that I can prevent my service being disrupted by unexpected traffic
    In addition, I would like to keep the current allow-list to be able to allow know IPs and a way to resolve a conflict between allow and block list where block list takes priority.

  15. As an OPS Engineer
    I want to be able to balance the cluster based on CPU usage rather than Disk usage. The current algorithm focuses on Disk usage which is not optimum for our application.
    Can we have an option to apply partition rebalancing based on CPU usage?

    I want to ahve ability to scalse Kafka clsuter without upgrade, that increses time of scale.
    In production this can become critical and lead to downtime. For example last 2 times the scale lasted for 12 hours.

  17. Our customer Jago wants to monitor the status of connectors and tasks but currently can't find relevant metrics to do so. They want to be able to monitor the status of connectors and tasks on a dashboard and also get notified whenever a connector has not been running for X minutes.

    Jago has a connector running but can not find the metrics for kafka.connect:type=connector-metrics,connector=*.

    The specific metrics they are looking for is the one related to the status of a connector. For example, in the customers current self-managed kafka connect, they have the following metrics. This is convenient because they…

  18. As a developer that uses Aiven's S3 sink connector,
    I want to be able to set the offset.flush.interval.ms only for my specific connector from the connector's configuration
    so that I can avoid configuring it in the cluster level (for all connectors).

    This function will largely be replaced by ChatGPT or other LLMs which can generate clear code and instructions, making a visual builder unnecessary. 

  20. As a developer
    I want to know when a connector is paused or resumed
    so that I can have timestamps and know if anybody is doing what they are not supposed to do.
