Is your proposal related to a problem?
It is not uncommon to have several hundred messages in one topic. Most of the time you use one schema for one topic. In this schema there are many different information like id, timestamp, brand, etc. . If you want to go through these hundred messages and you are especially interested in brand, you can use the preview to search through many messages at once. Bomb feature. However, if you now use dynamic stages on a large scale, all preview settings are gone after restarting. Especially if you have long and many json paths, this hurts a lot.
Describe the feature you're interested in
A solution for this problem would be to specify a json path with name beforehand, so that the settings remain after a restart. Especially since in most cases there is one schema per topic, one could always fall back on these settings if one or more pieces of information are particularly interesting.
Idea:
- Specify name & json path in configuration (helm/docker-compose/...)
- Open Kafka-UI and be able to select the json path by name
- Be happy that you don't have to write a json path because you configured it beforehand
Describe alternatives you've considered
A weaker solution would be to at least leave the preview settings in case you go out of the topic overview and return to it later.
Version you're running
Additional context
This issue is about quality of life and just to have this possibility of a preview is awesome. With this issue you would have the possibility to be even more happy about this preview.
