View Apache Kafka® messages live in the Aiven Console

Apache Kafka users can now view their message queues live from the Aiven Console, providing a quick and easy way to check if recent messages are being ingested correctly. The feature allows for sorting messages by location, partition, offset, timeout, and maximum size, adding simplicity and granularity useful for troubleshooting complex message queues. To use this feature, users need an Aiven for Apache Kafka Business-4 plan or better and must enable the Kafka REST API.
