Kpow v88.5 brings improved integration with the Confluent Cloud Metrics API for large cloud clusters, and a number of minor improvements and bug fixes.

Confluent Cloud Metrics API

Kpow provides an optional Confluent Cloud Metrics API Integration.

When enabled Kpow will show full disk usage metrics in both graphs and tables just like a standard Kafka cluster.

Recent feedback identified improvements to this API integration in the case of large Kafka clusters (+1000 topics). These improvements are implemented in Kpow v88.5 and require no further configuration, just update and restart.
