Review Kafka Changes in Kafma Activity Logs

Kafma Activity Logs keep a local history for the selected cluster. They record only actions performed in Kafma and do not collect broker-side audit events or changes made elsewhere.

What Kafma Activity Logs record

Each entry shows when an operation ran, the affected resource, the action, changes, and whether it succeeded. Kafma records supported operations involving topics, consumer groups, schemas, saved cluster connections, Data Clone, and Console forwarding. Data Clone and Console forwarding entries appear under the target cluster.

Failed operations remain in the log. Hover over their status icon to see the recorded error.

Browse and filter activity

Filter entries by time, resource type, action, or status. Search by resource name, action, or text in the Changes column. Select a resource name to filter the retained entries for that resource.

When operations have failed today, the warning above the table can filter the list to those failures immediately.

Filtering successful and failed Kafka changes in Kafma Activity Logs

Revert a supported change

Open the row menu and choose Revert this action when it is available. Kafma shows the recorded values and the values it will restore before applying the revert.

Revert applies a new change that restores the recorded values; it does not roll the cluster back to an earlier point in time.

Reviewing values before reverting an action from Kafma Activity Logs

Revert is supported for recorded topic configuration edits, consumer group offset resets, Schema Registry compatibility changes, and eligible saved cluster connection edits. When a revert changes the current state, Kafma adds the resulting change to Activity Logs.

For saved cluster connections, Kafma restores only eligible non-secret fields. Credentials, authentication settings, environment, and read-only status remain unchanged.

Operations such as deleting a topic or records cannot be undone. Entries for irreversible or unsupported actions do not offer the revert option.

Retention and clearing

Activity Logs are stored locally and kept for 30 days by default. In Settings → Activity Logs, choose 7, 30, or 90 days, or keep entries forever. Clear Logs permanently removes all locally stored Activity Logs across every cluster.
