Monitor Confluent Platform with Health+
Important
Confluent Health+ is entering its End-of-Life (EOL) process.
Health+ is deprecated and users should plan to migrate to Unified Stream Manager (USM). While Health+ remains operational for existing users, it is scheduled to be retired, or to sunset, in 2026. Starting with Confluent Platform version 8.1, Health+ is discontinued for new deployments and Unified Stream Manager is the recommended alternative for all users.
To begin your migration planning, see Unified Stream Manager Overview.
