Show HN: Kafkatop, top-like CLI for Kafka Hey HN, for those of you tired of running kafka-consumer-groups.sh and similar tools, here's a small real-time monitoring CLI tool for Apache Kafka, that displays consumer lag and event rates in a clean, top-like interface. You can quickly assess which consumers are lagging and when they will catch up.

I've made this to quickly assess the health of remote on-premises clusters which most of the time lack proper monitoring.

The tool can be found here: https://github.com/sivann/kafkatop

I'd be very interested to hear your feedback or any features you think would add value to this tool!
