Can't connect to Kafka using CONDUKTOR UI

Question

I have been connecting to KAFKA using CONDUKTOR Application. But somehow Conduktor connection is disabled (yellow highlighted in the screenshot), and I am unable to connect to kafka, even after rebooting system twice.

Attaching the screenshot. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Answer 1

Kafka is running in a docker container

Your host cannot resolve docker containers by name. You need to connect to localhost:9092, or whatever the advertised listener you've set up to your host machine

Answer 2

To use Conduktor, login is mandatory

As mentioned in Conduktor changelog, from version 1.4.0 onwards it's required to be logged into Conduktor in order to be able to connect to Kafka.

From Conduktor changelog:

Conduktor 1.4.0 (Jan 24, 2020): We must have to login into Conduktor now. We are integrated with auth0, using a Native app with PKCE oauth flow.
