Hi There, I wanted to evaluate the HiveMQ Enterprise Extension for Kafka. I have downloaded the HiveMQ Enterprise Edition 4.7.1. Deleted the DISABLED file from the extensions\hivemq-kafka-extension folder. Copied kafka-configuration.example.xml to kafka-configuration.xml from extensions\hivemq-kafka-extension folder. Below is the snapshot of kafka-configuration.example.xml file. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/hivemq1/original/1X/057d81b71c630e645b861e6c4f1f0b6184b95951.png) Started the HiveMQ. Downloaded the kafka\_2.12-2.8.0 from the Apache Kafka site. Started Zookeeper and Kafka services using these commands: cd C:\kafka\_2.12-2.8.0\bin\windows zookeeper-server-start C:\kafka\_2.12-2.8.0\config\zookeeper.properties kafka-server-start C:\kafka\_2.12-2.8.0\config\server.properties Created one topic by name kafka-topic using this commamnd: kafka-topics --create --topic kafka-topic --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 Then produced one message using Kafka Producer command to topic kafka-topic: kafka-console-producer --topic kafka-topic --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 Then consumer started listing to this kafka-topic using this command and was able to see the messages: kafka-console-consumer --topic kafka-topic --from-beginning --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 Now using the MQTT Cli shell mode ran these commands i.e. publishing a messatge to MQTT topic test. con -i pubclient1 --no-cleanStart --debug --verbose -k 3600 pub -t test -q 2 -m ‘test message from mqtt topic publish 8’ I was able to see this message in the Kafka Consumer console. My question is in the Control Center Kafka Dashboard not able to see any messages statistics. I tried sending some 10 messages to MQTT topic and they were able to consume in the Kafka Topic but Control Center Dashboard is not updated. See below the screenshot. I refreshed the dashboard multiple times but no luck. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/hivemq1/original/1X/487effb301b1d7e1730f3f4f6d6ca0eefa4f8333.png) HiveMQ console log: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/hivemq1/original/1X/8d7a2ec6ee9b80345afe15d28701bc526ef5e9d5.png) The inbound published messages count is shown in the main dashboard but only in kafka dashboard it is not shown. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/hivemq1/original/1X/3f2857d9703337037850036ff90ae3deb2a76649.png) Thanks & Regards, -Venkat ---

Hi @vgkkonda, the dashboard for the kafka extension was designed for continuous throughput scenarios. You don’t see the message in the dashboard because at the time when the dashboard loaded a new datapoint you probably weren’t sending any messages. If you send 10msg/s for like 20s you will see them in the dashboard. Greetings, Michael from the HiveMQ team
