read-only kafka manager

[sidcley]

Hello there,

We would like to propose a feature where kafka-manager becomes read-only. That flag would remove any functionality where you can do things like (add partition, add topic,...) from the UI. This is required for our production environments where we want people to see what is going on in kafka but not necessarily perform any change.

You can already do this, just change the application features in the conf file.

Thanks @patelh . If you can provide rest api to provision cluster like requested in #226 I think we can disable all features and just use rest api to add cluster and use it in read-only mode.

@patelh Can you tell me where I can change the read-only mode in conf file? I only find the login-in Authentication.

@liuxialong application.features=["KMClusterManagerFeature","KMTopicManagerFeature","KMPreferredReplicaElectionFeature","KMReassignPartitionsFeature"]

Nice feature. Also I have a question. Where does kafka manager stores its state, i.e. clusters and their settings? How do I backup it or clean everything for example?

@sidcley We have the exact same use case as you. We want a read-only version of kafka manager. What features did you enable to do this?

To make it more clear if you delete the features out of this config, it will be read only more or less.

application.features=["KMClusterManagerFeature","KMTopicManagerFeature","KMPreferredReplicaElectionFeature","KMReassignPartitionsFeature"]

This is not working with 3.0.0.5 kafka manager. I can still create/delete topics without application.features in place.
