After upgrading Lenses to version 5.4, my connectors are not appearing. How can I resolve this issue? ---

Hello Edward\_k, It’s possible that your Kafka Connect is outdated. Lenses retrieves information about topics and connectors through the Kafka Connect API. In older versions where Connect does not have this API, Lenses has a parameter in its configuration that allows you to specify whether the information is obtained through connector configuration or the Connect API. The parameter is: `lenses.features.connectors.topics.via.api.enabled` And the values of this parameter are `true` or `false`. ---

Hi Edward, What is the Kafka Connect version you are running? Lenses 5.4 requires at least 2.6, or otherwise use the setting @grudtnerv shared.
