Context

You are using Conduktor Console, and when you click on a topic to consume the records, you get the following error:

Unable to consume records.
Socket closed.

Reason

In order to consume records, we open a websocket connection to your Kafka cluster. This means that if you have an ingress or a proxy, you have to make sure it allows websocket connections.

For example, if you use a Contour ingress, you have to add the following annotation to your Ingress configuration:

projectcontour.io/websocket-routes: "/"
