Kpow v91.3 is a minor release that introduces new Schema and Connect features and resolves a number of small issues.

Improved Schema Configurability

This release introduces new configuration options for Schema Registry, including:

  • New environment variables when connecting to Schema Registry with Oauth2
  • AWS Glue static credentials for authentication
  • AWS Glue cross-account AWS access (STS Assume Role support)

See our Schema Registry configuration documentation for more.

Improved Prometheus Reporting

Kpow now provides richer prometheus metrics for consumer groups:

/metrics/v1

The existing metrics endpoint now returns group.member.count and group.host.count gauges for each consumer group

/group-offsets/v1

This new endpoint returns information about every individual group member assignment, including offset, offset-delta, last-read, and first-observed.

Improved Connector Creation

You can now create a connector in Kpow from JSON input, the same as you would post to the Connect REST endpoint.
