The Kafka explorer shows configured clusters with their topics, brokers, consumers and configurations.
In the Kafka explorer, right-click on a cluster to access several options.
Before using a .kafka file, a cluster must be selected, you can use the Select cluster menu item:
You can copy the label of any tree node in the clipboard with Ctrl+C (Cmd+C on Mac) or via the Copy Label contextual menu:
You can delete clusters, topics and consumer groups with the Delete (Cmd+Delete on Mac) key, the Trashcan icon or Delete contextual menu:
Multiple delete is not supported for the moment. See issue 107.
To delete a consumer group, it first must be stopped, else the Delete action will report an error.
You can search for extensions contributing cluster providers in the extension gallery, by clicking on the Discover Cluster Providers button (also available via the command palette):
Those extensions must have the kafka-provider keyword in their package.json, eg.
"keywords": [
"kafka-provider"
