Use the SMM UI to monitor your cluster. You can quickly check the number of
producers, brokers, topics, and consumer groups on the Overview tab. From the Topics tab,
you can view topic details such as the producers and consumers that are connected to the
topic or the number of events that are written into the topic in a certain time
frame.

The
Topic page contains a number of useful details about
your Kafka topics. This page helps you answer the following questions:

- How do I see the producers and consumers that are connected to this
topic?
- How do I find the total number of messages going into this topic, over a
specified time range?

Select the topic you are interested in. You can either scroll through the list
of topics, or use the Search bar at the top left of the page.
