= Navigating the StreamsHub Console

[role="_abstract"]
The console homepage lists all connected Kafka clusters.
Select a cluster to access the following pages:

Cluster overview:: Summarizes cluster status, key metrics, and resource usage.
Nodes:: Details broker and controller nodes, including roles, status, and partition distribution.
Topics:: Lists topics with configuration details, partition data, and associated groups.
Kafka Connect:: Displays information about Kafka Connect clusters, including connector status, configuration details, and available plugins.
Kafka Users:: Lists Kafka users associated with the selected cluster and shows the namespace for each user.
Groups:: Lists groups associated with the cluster and shows group activity, membership, and assignments. 
Offset and lag metrics are available for consumer groups.

NOTE: If the cluster navigation menu is hidden, click the navigation menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the console header to reveal it.

== Navigate between clusters

After you log in to a cluster, a cluster selector appears at the top of each console page.
The selector shows the current cluster and the number of available clusters.

Click the selector to:

* Switch to another cluster
* Return to the console homepage to view all clusters

Kroxylicious virtual Kafka clusters appear with a *Virtual* label in the console.
A virtual Kafka cluster is a logical Kafka cluster that is accessible to clients over the network.
The Kroxylicious proxy exposes the virtual cluster and forwards client requests to an underlying Kafka cluster using configured filters.

== Choose how the console looks

The StreamsHub Console supports three theme options: *Light*, *Dark*, and *System*. When set to *System*, the console matches your operating system theme preference.

To change the theme, click the theme icon (sun or moon) in the console header to open the theme selector.
