Inline schema references view and extensive Data Inspect improvements.

Data Inspect changes

Bulk clone to topic

The single-record Clone to topic action has now been extended to allow for a bulk message clone to a topic. An entire Data Inspect result set can be cloned to a destination topic in one step via Send > Clone to topic from the results table toolbar. This is ideal for Dead Letter Queue (DLQ) management, where a full batch of failed messages needs replaying to a destination topic.

Note: To use this feature, you'd need to enable BULK_ACTIONS in RBAC.

Support for all Avro logical types

Kpow now supports the full range of Avro logical types for both Data Inspect and Data Produce.

This introduces a few notable differences in behaviour:

• The separate Avro (Strict) SerDes option has been consolidated into a single Avro option.
• Data Produce — the Avro SerDes no longer pre-fills default values for primitive fields (e.g. booleans), so these must now be specified explicitly.
• Data Inspect date formatting and kJQ queries — dates in Data Inspect results used to be shown as epoch timestamps, e.g. {"loadedAtUtc": 1782720042631}, queried in kJQ as .loadedAtUtc > 1782826620123. They're now rendered as ISO date strings instead, e.g. {"loadedAtUtc": "2026-06-29T08:00:42.631"}, but kJQ queries still compare against epoch timestamps, so the equivalent query becomes .loadedAtUtc | from-date > 1782826620123. Update any saved kJQ queries accordingly.

Persist Avro schema field order in Data Inspect results

Data Inspect results can now preserve the field order defined in the Avro schema. This is the default behaviour for the Pretty printed display option in Data Inspect.

Configurable default display preferences

Default display preferences for Data Inspect results can now be set at the environment level instead of per user. You can use the following environment variable to configure default Data Inspec display options:

• SAMPLER_DEFAULT_KEY_FORMAT
• SAMPLER_DEFAULT_VALUE_FORMAT
• SAMPLER_DEFAULT_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT
• SAMPLER_DEFAULT_SIZE_FORMAT
• SAMPLER_DEFAULT_MAX_BYTES
• SAMPLER_DEFAULT_VISIBLE_FIELDS

The new Avro field-order display preference described above is one of the options you can configure through this functionality.

Sync Data Inspect form with the active results tab query

The Data Inspect search form can now stay in sync with the query behind the currently active results tab. This functionality is OFF by default and can be enabled from the Options section of the form. Once enabled, the preference is stored in local storage for this user.

Group overage support for Microsoft Entra (SAML)

Kpow now supports Microsoft Entra group overage claims over SAML, so RBAC continues to resolve correctly for users who belong to more than 150 groups.

Inline schema reference expansion and navigation

Schemas that reference other schemas can now be expanded and navigated inline from the Schema Registry view, without leaving the page. References are shown as a nested, traversable tree.This removes the need for jumping between separate schema pages to piece the relationships together.
