Managing Multiple Kafka Clusters & Workspaces
Monitor and manage production, staging, and development Kafka clusters from a single KLogic workspace. Learn multi-cluster setup, environment isolation, and team organization.
Multi-Cluster Architecture
Understand how KLogic organizes clusters, workspaces, and team access
Clusters
Each Kafka cluster (production, staging, dev, regional) is registered as a separate entity in KLogic with its own connection configuration.
Workspaces
Workspaces group related clusters and control which team members have access. Use separate workspaces for different business units or environments.
Team Access
Role-based access control ensures engineers only see the clusters and operations relevant to their responsibilities.
Multi-Cluster Setup
Register and configure multiple clusters in KLogic
Manual Cluster Registration
Navigate to Cluster Settings
Go to Settings → Clusters → Add Cluster in your KLogic workspace.
Enter Bootstrap Servers
Provide the broker addresses: broker1:9092,broker2:9092,broker3:9092
Configure Authentication
Select PLAINTEXT, SSL, SASL_PLAINTEXT, or SASL_SSL and provide credentials.
Test & Save
KLogic validates the connection before saving. Metrics collection begins immediately after save.
Environment Variable Configuration
For self-hosted deployments, configure clusters via environment variables for automated provisioning and infrastructure-as-code workflows.
Changes to environment variables are applied on server restart. Clusters are upserted, not duplicated.
Workspace Isolation Strategies
Common patterns for organizing clusters across teams and environments
Environment-Based Workspaces
Separate workspaces for production, staging, and development prevent accidental cross-environment actions and keep alerts scoped correctly.
Team-Based Workspaces
For organizations with multiple product teams sharing a Kafka platform, team-scoped workspaces provide visibility boundaries and ownership clarity.
