I’m trying to check how Kafka Connect is configured and managed from Lenses, but I’m not sure where this is exposed in the Lenses HQ SQL Studio interface.

Hi. starting with Lenses 6.2, Kafka Connect connectors are available under the **Apps** section.

Lenses uses the concept of **Apps** to group deployable or operational components that run around Kafka. Kafka Connect connectors fit into this model because they are applications that move data into or out of Kafka, and they have their own lifecycle and configuration.

So instead of looking for a separate Kafka Connect menu, you can find connectors under **Apps** , where you can create, view, edit, and manage them. The connector configuration editor also includes **IntelliSense** , which helps when building the connector configuration.

You can also favorite the connectors section using the Lenses favorites/bookmarks feature, so you can access it quickly later.
