Configuring a Kafka Client Connection

To publish or subscribe messages, you must first configure a Apache Kafka client connection. The Apache Kafka client connection contains the parameters required to connect to the Apache Kafka cluster. The Apache Kafka client connection is used by all the activities in the Apache Kafka category.

Prerequisites

Before you create a client connection, familiarize yourself with Apache Kafka. For details about how to use the Apache Kafka product, see the Kafka Documentation.

Procedure

  1. On the TIBCO Cloud™ Integration - Flogo® (PAYG) page, click the Connections tab and perform one of the following actions:
    • To add a client connection for the first time, click the Apache Kafka Client Configuration card. You can search for a connector card by typing the connector name in the search field.
    • If you have existing connections and want to add a new connection, click the Add Connection link.
  2. In the Apache Kafka Client Configuration dialog box, enter the connection details. For field descriptions, see the Kafka Connection Details topic.
