Default system topics 

System or control topics are created by services for their internal use. Below is the list of built-in configuration to identify them.

  • _schemas
  • __consumer_offsets
  • _kafka_lenses_
  • lsql_*
  • lsql-*
  • __transaction_state
  • __topology
  • __topology__metrics
  • _confluent*
  • *-KSTREAM-*
  • *-TableSource-*
  • *-changelog
  • __amazon_msk*

Wildcard (*) is used to match any name in the path to capture a list of topics not just one. When the wildcard is not specified, Lenses matches on the entry name provided.
