Description
Release Date
Documentation
The connector feature commercially available
Since being launched, the TDMQ for CKafka (CKafka) connector feature had focused on establishing reliable data connections in scenarios inside and outside Tencent Cloud (such as cross-cloud and hybrid cloud scenarios). It provided SaaS-based, simple, and configurable data channels to establish a reliable and stable data linkage. The commercialization involved two data output plugins of Connector: Kafka to Kafka and Kafka to Elasticsearch Service (ES). Core optimizations included enhanced monitoring metrics, alarm configuration support, automatic concurrency adjustment, and improved task stability.
2025-07-01
Partition traffic skew detection supported by one-click diagnosis
The load balancing mechanism of Kafka or user misconfiguration often caused uneven partition traffic distribution, resulting in unexpected issues. To help customers promptly detect such risks and take corresponding measures, the one-click diagnosis feature provided the partition traffic skew diagnosis capability. Users could customize a time range and trigger threshold. For a topic in a cluster, if the total traffic of a partition accounted for more than the configured threshold within the selected time range, an error was reported to remind users to make adjustments promptly.
