# kafka-healthcheck

A simple healthcheck wrapper to monitor Kafka.

Kafka Healthcheck is a simple server that provides a singular API endpoint to determine the health of a Kafka instance. This can be used to alert or take action on unhealthy Kafka instances.

The service checks the health by sending `kafkacat` about that [kafkacat](https://github.com/edenhill/kafkacat)

This project is a copy "[devshawn](https://github.com/devshawn/zookeeper-healthcheck)" whit modifications for use `kafkacat`

## Usage
Kafka Healthcheck can be installed via `pip`. Both `python` and `pip` are required, as well as `kafkacat`.

### Command-Line
Install `kafka-healthcheck` via `pip`:

```bash
pip install kafka-healthcheck
```

To start the healthcheck server, run:

```bash
kafka-healthcheck
```

The server will now be running on [localhost:9290][localhost].
