Quota Management

Quota Management

A quota can be applied to limit network and resource utilization for Kafka to only specific users and/or clients. 
To use user level quotas, authentication via Kerberos or TLS certificates must be enabled in your Apache Kafka setup. 

Note that different versions of Kafka support different quota features. Kadeck supports the management of quotas for Apache Kafka 2.6+.
You can access the quota management by clicking the "Quotas" menu item in the left ribbon.
