kafka-lagcheck - Kafka Consumer Lag Checking

Just creates a healthcheck and good-to-go endpoint that's checking kafka consumer lags..

Connects to an application based on github.com/linkedin/Burrow

Run locally

1. You need to set up a burrow running locally.
2. go get github.com/Financial-Times/kafka-lagcheck
3. cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/Financial-Times/kafka-lagcheck
4. go install
5. ./kafka-lagcheck

The go app is only serving as a forwarder, it makes requests to Burrow, and forms the result in an FT standard healthcheck format. e.g.

curl localhost:8080/__health
