Re: Add REST Endpoint for Health check etc in Kafka Connect app

[Ning Zhang <ni...@gmail.com>]

Hi YG, it seems current Kafka Connect already provided simple REST endpoint for connector and task level status (running / stopped / ....): 
https://docs.confluent.io/5.5.0/connect/managing/monitoring.html

Is there any other info about Kafka Connect you care about?

I'd also like to reuse the RestServer from Kafka as we implemented some security patch to it, don't want to create a new RestServer/JettyServer, that will be too heavyweight for this task. Thanks.
