What's new in Streams Messaging Manager

Streams Messaging Manager Distributed with and Included in Runtime

Starting with this release of Cloudera Runtime, Streams Messaging Manager (SMM) is distributed with and included in Runtime. In order to deploy the service you do not need to acquire or install parcels and CSD files separately. All required artifacts now come bundled with Runtime. The service will be selectable for deployment when installing a new cluster or when adding new services to a cluster.

Additional new Streams Messaging Manager features

Refresh option added on pages of the SMM UI

A refresh button is added on all pages of the SMM UI where a time-range can be set. The refresh button allows you to refresh data displayed on a page without having to refresh from the browser. This enables you to refresh the data displayed without losing filter settings or selections made on a page.

Default Value of Streams Messaging Manager Configuration Directory changed

The default value of the Streams Messaging Manager Configuration Directory (streams.messaging.manager.working.directory) property, which sets the working directory of SMM, is changed from var/lib/streamsmsgsmgr to /var/lib/streams_messaging_manager.

Cloudera Manager Service Monitor Host property added

A new property, Cloudera Manager Service Monitor Host (cm.metrics.service.monitor.host), has been added to SMM. This property allows you to configure the host of the CM Service Monitor that SMM connects to when CM Server and CM Service Monitor are installed on different hosts.

If CM Server and CM Service Monitor are installed on different hosts, you must configure the Cloudera Manager Service Monitor Host and Cloudera Manager Service Monitor Port properties to enable SMM to collect metrics.

Kafka Connect in SMM

You can use the Kafka Connect option in SMM to manage Kafka Connectors in your cluster.
