Describe the bug (actual behavior)
Hello!
I've notice kafka-ui is making millions of API calls to DescribeTopicDynamicConfiguration action on AWS MSK, and it significantly increase our GuardDuty cost (that analyzes those events). We're talking between 10 and 23 millions calls per day (depending of our uptime, we've started closing it when it's not in use because of this charge).
Has this been reported before ?
Any way to tweak that refresh interval down ?
Thanks !
Expected behavior
Not being so aggressive on api calls.
Your installation details
