I am using confluent platform version 6.0.0 and it is not having control centre, can u please suggest what will be the possible reason and solution
How did you install? Confluent Platform 6.0.0 did include Control Center, e.g., it’s documented here and I see Control Center configuration files and JARs in http://packages.confluent.io/archive/6.0/confluent-6.0.0.zip.
BTW are you able to upgrade? 6.0.0 is about 5 years old and long past End of Support.
I have downloaded it from confluent.io, and when I set that up in my local, control centre was not started up along with other services, that’s when I got worried a bit! PFA below
What’s the output of confluent version? The As of Confluent Platform 8.0 … output wouldn’t have been in CP 6.0.0’s CLI so maybe what’s happening is an incompatibility between CLI version and the version of CP that you downloaded.
What’s the reason for testing out 6.0.0?
was following some videos was trying out setting it up in local for the first time, will checkin the latest version of CF, once last question will CF 8.0 has the control-center inside the same bundle or need to run it separately?
It’s a little confusing because Control Center hit a state of flux as of CP 8.0. The CP 8.0 archive bundles what we’re now calling Control Center (Legacy) and this is the Control Center that will start if you run confluent local services start on CP 8.0.
With CP 8.0, Confluent introduced a standalone Control Center that is packaged and versioned separately from the rest of Confluent Platform. This is the way forward for Control Center – it has a new look and feel and significant performance improvements.
So, while CP bundles the legacy version of Control Center, once you’re on CP 8.0 I’d recommend running the newer separately distributed version. The Docker-based instructions here are the quickest way to get started with it and the rest of CP 8.0.
