In this episode of Get Kafka-Nated, host Hugh is joined by Anatolii Popov, Senior Software Engineer at Aiven, to dive into one of the most talked-about integrations in the modern data stack: Kafka to Apache Iceberg. Anatolii was accepted to speak at Iceberg Summit 2026 on debugging the Kafka Connect Iceberg Connector, and in this session we’ll cover the talk he would have given, including common failure modes, debugging locally, catalog complexities, and where the integration is heading next.

Telegraf Controller makes it easier to manage and monitor your Telegraf agents in one place. In this overview, Product Manager Scott Anderson explains how it works. Agents pull their configurations directly from the controller and report their status back using a heartbeat plugin. This gives you a clear, real-time view of your deployment health. You can quickly see how everything is running at a high level or drill into individual agents for more detail. It's a simple way to stay on top of large Telegraf setups.

Telegraf Enterprise is built to help teams manage Telegraf at scale. In this overview, Product Manager Scott Anderson introduces what’s included and how it works. The package combines Telegraf Controller, a web app for centralized configuration and agent observability, with dedicated enterprise support from the InfluxData team and Telegraf maintainers. If you’re running large Telegraf deployments and want more visibility and support, this gives you a clear look at what Telegraf Enterprise brings to the table.

Telegraf is InfluxData’s open source agent for collecting metrics, and it’s used everywhere. In this quick overview, Product Manager Scott Anderson shares what makes it stand out, from more than 5 billion downloads to a huge plugin ecosystem with 400+ integrations. It’s also built by a strong community, with over 1,300 contributors and thousands of GitHub stars. That momentum is a big part of why Telegraf keeps growing.
