We are excited to announce the General Availability of Confluent Control Center 2.3, bringing powerful client visibility, better lag insights, schema context support, and active-active high availability to your Confluent Platform monitoring and management experience.
Highlights
- Client Monitoring powered by KIP‑714: Gain per‑client visibility into request counts, connection counts, average latency, and production/consumption rates for faster root‑cause analysis.
- Consumer Lag time‑series: New time‑series visualizations to spot trends over time, not just points‑in‑time.
- Active‑Active support: Run Control Center in active‑active mode to improve availability and resilience.
- Schema Context support: Create/select schema contexts for schema creation and choose the context to use when deserializing topic data in the UI.
