Live Event Stream

The Live Event Stream tab provides a real-time tail of the events happening across your entire infrastructure.

How it works

If Kafka is enabled in eventlens.yaml, EventLens initiates a consumer group mapped to your defined domain topic.

As your application persists events to PostgreSQL, it also publishes those events to Kafka. EventLens consumes this topic and efficiently pushes the JSON directly to the frontend React UI over native WebSockets.

This architectural choice avoids hammering the Postgres database with heavy long-polling queries and provides an instantly updated dashboard for active local or production debugging.
