Access kafka/zookeeper via ssh tunnel to consume and produce messages from your local machine
You need python3 in order to use kafkatunnel.py
- python3
- pip3
Note: for AWS mode: you need to tag your ec2 zookeeper and kafka instances with Name=kafka/zookeeper
see https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/ec2-resource-tags/
$ git clone https://github.com/simple-machines/kafka-tunnel
$ make
kafkatool.py
supports two ways of passing the remote zookeeper/kafka and optionally schema registry IPs:
- automatic retrival by ec2 resource tags (Name=zookeeper/kafka)
$ kafkatunnel aws ec2-user@awsjumphost
- manual passing your remote zookeeper/kafka and optionally schema registry IPs
$ kafkatunnel manual 10.11.85.128,10.11.82.30,10.11.83.9 10.11.80.7,10.11.80.123,10.11.81.13 10.11.82.10,10.11.82.11
afterwards you have to provide your root password in order to create the interfaces
zookeeper on 10.11.85.128 port 2181
zookeeper on 10.11.82.30 port 2181
zookeeper on 10.11.83.9 port 2181
kafka on 10.11.80.7 port 9091
kafka on 10.11.80.123 port 9091
kafka on 10.11.81.13 port 9091
schemareg on 10.11.82.10 port 8081
schemareg on 10.11.82.11 port 8081
* adding interface, user password might be needed

On a second screen just do whatever you want, e.g. list all topics.
$ kafka-topics --zookeeper 10.11.85.128:2181 --list
