B.1. Common configuration properties

Common configuration properties apply to more than one resource.

B.1.1. replicas

Use the replicas property to configure replicas.

The type of replication depends on the resource.

  • KafkaTopic uses a replication factor to configure the number of replicas of each partition within a Kafka cluster.
  • Kafka components use replicas to configure the number of pods in a deployment to provide better availability and scalability.
Note

When running a Kafka component on OpenShift it may not be necessary to run multiple replicas for high availability. When the node where the component is deployed crashes, OpenShift will automatically reschedule the Kafka component pod to a different node. However, running Kafka components with multiple replicas can provide faster failover times as the other nodes will be up and running.

B.1.2. bootstrapServers

Use the bootstrapServers property to configure a list of bootstrap servers.

The bootstrap server lists can refer to Kafka clusters that are not deployed in the same OpenShift cluster. They can also refer to a Kafka cluster not deployed by AMQ Streams.

If on the same OpenShift cluster, each list must ideally contain the Kafka cluster bootstrap service which is named CLUSTER-NAME-kafka-bootstrap and a port number. If deployed by AMQ Streams but on different OpenShift clusters, the list content depends on the approach used for exposing the clusters (routes, nodeports or loadbalancers).

When using Kafka with a Kafka cluster not managed by AMQ Streams, you can specify the bootstrap servers list according to the configuration of the given cluster.

B.1.3. ssl

Use the three allowed ssl configuration options for client connection using a specific cipher suite for a TLS version. A cipher suite combines algorithms for secure connection and data transfer.

You can also configure the ssl.endpoint.identification.algorithm property to enable or disable hostname verification.

Example SSL configuration

# ...
spec:
  config:
    ssl.cipher.suites: "TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384" 1
    ssl.enabled.protocols: "TLSv1.2" 2
    ssl.protocol: "TLSv1.2" 3
    ssl.endpoint.identification.algorithm: HTTPS 4
# ...

1
The cipher suite for TLS using a combination of ECDHE key exchange mechanism, RSA authentication algorithm, AES bulk encyption algorithm and SHA384 MAC algorithm.
2
The SSl protocol TLSv1.2 is enabled.
3
Specifies the TLSv1.2 protocol to generate the SSL context. Allowed values are TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2.
4
Hostname verification is enabled by setting to HTTPS. An empty string disables the verification.

B.1.4. trustedCertificates

Having set tls to configure TLS encryption, use the trustedCertificates property to provide a list of secrets with key names under which the certificates are stored in X.509 format.

You can use the secrets created by the Cluster Operator for the Kafka cluster, or you can create your own TLS certificate file, then create a Secret from the file:

oc create secret generic MY-SECRET \
--from-file=MY-TLS-CERTIFICATE-FILE.crt

Example TLS encryption configuration

tls:
  trustedCertificates:
    - secretName: my-cluster-cluster-cert
      certificate: ca.crt
    - secretName: my-cluster-cluster-cert
      certificate: ca2.crt

If certificates are stored in the same secret, it can be listed multiple times.

If you want to enable TLS, but use the default set of public certification authorities shipped with Java, you can specify trustedCertificates as an empty array:

Example of enabling TLS with the default Java certificates

tls:
  trustedCertificates: []

For information on configuring TLS client authentication, see KafkaClientAuthenticationTls schema reference.

B.1.5. resources

You request CPU and memory resources for components. Limits specify the maximum resources that can be consumed by a given container.

Resource requests and limits for the Topic Operator and User Operator are set in the Kafka resource.

Use the reources.requests and resources.limits properties to configure resource requests and limits.

For every deployed container, AMQ Streams allows you to request specific resources and define the maximum consumption of those resources.

AMQ Streams supports requests and limits for the following types of resources:

  • cpu
  • memory

AMQ Streams uses the OpenShift syntax for specifying these resources.

For more information about managing computing resources on OpenShift, see Managing Compute Resources for Containers.

Resource requests

Requests specify the resources to reserve for a given container. Reserving the resources ensures that they are always available.

Important

If the resource request is for more than the available free resources in the OpenShift cluster, the pod is not scheduled.

A request may be configured for one or more supported resources.

Resource limits

Limits specify the maximum resources that can be consumed by a given container. The limit is not reserved and might not always be available. A container can use the resources up to the limit only when they are available. Resource limits should be always higher than the resource requests.

A resource may be configured for one or more supported limits.

Supported CPU formats

CPU requests and limits are supported in the following formats:

  • Number of CPU cores as integer (5 CPU core) or decimal (2.5 CPU core).
  • Number or millicpus / millicores (100m) where 1000 millicores is the same 1 CPU core.
Note

The computing power of 1 CPU core may differ depending on the platform where OpenShift is deployed.

For more information on CPU specification, see the Meaning of CPU.

Supported memory formats

Memory requests and limits are specified in megabytes, gigabytes, mebibytes, and gibibytes.

  • To specify memory in megabytes, use the M suffix. For example 1000M.
  • To specify memory in gigabytes, use the G suffix. For example 1G.
  • To specify memory in mebibytes, use the Mi suffix. For example 1000Mi.
  • To specify memory in gibibytes, use the Gi suffix. For example 1Gi.

For more details about memory specification and additional supported units, see Meaning of memory.

B.1.6. image

Use the image property to configure the container image used by the component.

Overriding container images is recommended only in special situations where you need to use a different container registry or a customized image.

For example, if your network does not allow access to the container repository used by AMQ Streams, you can copy the AMQ Streams images or build them from the source. However, if the configured image is not compatible with AMQ Streams images, it might not work properly.

A copy of the container image might also be customized and used for debugging.

You can specify which container image to use for a component using the image property in the following resources:

  • Kafka.spec.kafka
  • Kafka.spec.zookeeper
  • Kafka.spec.entityOperator.topicOperator
  • Kafka.spec.entityOperator.userOperator
  • Kafka.spec.entityOperator.tlsSidecar
  • KafkaConnect.spec
  • KafkaConnectS2I.spec
  • KafkaMirrorMaker.spec
  • KafkaMirrorMaker2.spec
  • KafkaBridge.spec

Configuring the image property for Kafka, Kafka Connect, and Kafka MirrorMaker

Kafka, Kafka Connect (including Kafka Connect with S2I support), and Kafka MirrorMaker support multiple versions of Kafka. Each component requires its own image. The default images for the different Kafka versions are configured in the following environment variables:

  • STRIMZI_KAFKA_IMAGES
  • STRIMZI_KAFKA_CONNECT_IMAGES
  • STRIMZI_KAFKA_CONNECT_S2I_IMAGES
  • STRIMZI_KAFKA_MIRROR_MAKER_IMAGES

These environment variables contain mappings between the Kafka versions and their corresponding images. The mappings are used together with the image and version properties:

  • If neither image nor version are given in the custom resource then the version will default to the Cluster Operator’s default Kafka version, and the image will be the one corresponding to this version in the environment variable.
  • If image is given but version is not, then the given image is used and the version is assumed to be the Cluster Operator’s default Kafka version.
  • If version is given but image is not, then the image that corresponds to the given version in the environment variable is used.
  • If both version and image are given, then the given image is used. The image is assumed to contain a Kafka image with the given version.

The image and version for the different components can be configured in the following properties:

  • For Kafka in spec.kafka.image and spec.kafka.version.
  • For Kafka Connect, Kafka Connect S2I, and Kafka MirrorMaker in spec.image and spec.version.
Warning

It is recommended to provide only the version and leave the image property unspecified. This reduces the chance of making a mistake when configuring the custom resource. If you need to change the images used for different versions of Kafka, it is preferable to configure the Cluster Operator’s environment variables.

Configuring the image property in other resources

For the image property in the other custom resources, the given value will be used during deployment. If the image property is missing, the image specified in the Cluster Operator configuration will be used. If the image name is not defined in the Cluster Operator configuration, then the default value will be used.

  • For Topic Operator:

    1. Container image specified in the STRIMZI_DEFAULT_TOPIC_OPERATOR_IMAGE environment variable from the Cluster Operator configuration.
    2. registry.redhat.io/amq7/amq-streams-rhel7-operator:1.6.7 container image.
  • For User Operator:

    1. Container image specified in the STRIMZI_DEFAULT_USER_OPERATOR_IMAGE environment variable from the Cluster Operator configuration.
    2. registry.redhat.io/amq7/amq-streams-rhel7-operator:1.6.7 container image.
  • For Entity Operator TLS sidecar:

    1. Container image specified in the STRIMZI_DEFAULT_TLS_SIDECAR_ENTITY_OPERATOR_IMAGE environment variable from the Cluster Operator configuration.
    2. registry.redhat.io/amq7/amq-streams-kafka-26-rhel7:1.6.7 container image.
  • For Kafka Exporter:

    1. Container image specified in the STRIMZI_DEFAULT_KAFKA_EXPORTER_IMAGE environment variable from the Cluster Operator configuration.
    2. registry.redhat.io/amq7/amq-streams-kafka-26-rhel7:1.6.7 container image.
  • For Kafka Bridge:

    1. Container image specified in the STRIMZI_DEFAULT_KAFKA_BRIDGE_IMAGE environment variable from the Cluster Operator configuration.
    2. registry.redhat.io/amq7/amq-streams-bridge-rhel7:1.6.7 container image.
  • For Kafka broker initializer:

    1. Container image specified in the STRIMZI_DEFAULT_KAFKA_INIT_IMAGE environment variable from the Cluster Operator configuration.
    2. registry.redhat.io/amq7/amq-streams-rhel7-operator:1.6.7 container image.
  • For Kafka broker initializer:

    1. registry.redhat.io/amq7/amq-streams-rhel7-operator:1.6.7 container image.

Example of container image configuration

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta1
kind: Kafka
metadata:
  name: my-cluster
spec:
  kafka:
    # ...
    image: my-org/my-image:latest
    # ...
  zookeeper:
    # ...

B.1.7. livenessProbe and readinessProbe healthchecks

Use the livenessProbe and readinessProbe properties to configure healthcheck probes supported in AMQ Streams.

Healthchecks are periodical tests which verify the health of an application. When a Healthcheck probe fails, OpenShift assumes that the application is not healthy and attempts to fix it.

For more details about the probes, see Configure Liveness and Readiness Probes.

Both livenessProbe and readinessProbe support the following options:

  • initialDelaySeconds
  • timeoutSeconds
  • periodSeconds
  • successThreshold
  • failureThreshold

Example of liveness and readiness probe configuration

# ...
readinessProbe:
  initialDelaySeconds: 15
  timeoutSeconds: 5
livenessProbe:
  initialDelaySeconds: 15
  timeoutSeconds: 5
# ...

For more information about the livenessProbe and readinessProbe options, see Probe schema reference.

B.1.8. metrics

Use the metrics property to enable and configure Prometheus metrics.

The metrics property can also contain additional configuration for the Prometheus JMX exporter. AMQ Streams supports Prometheus metrics using Prometheus JMX exporter to convert the JMX metrics supported by Apache Kafka and ZooKeeper to Prometheus metrics.

To enable Prometheus metrics export without any further configuration, you can set it to an empty object ({}).

When metrics are enabled, they are exposed on port 9404.

When the metrics property is not defined in the resource, the Prometheus metrics are disabled.

For more information about setting up and deploying Prometheus and Grafana, see Introducing Metrics to Kafka in the Deploying and Upgrading AMQ Streams on OpenShift guide.

B.1.9. jvmOptions

JVM options can be configured using the jvmOptions property in following resources:

  • Kafka.spec.kafka
  • Kafka.spec.zookeeper
  • KafkaConnect.spec
  • KafkaConnectS2I.spec
  • KafkaMirrorMaker.spec
  • KafkaMirrorMaker2.spec
  • KafkaBridge.spec

Only the following JVM options are supported:

-Xms
Configures the minimum initial allocation heap size when the JVM starts.
-Xmx
Configures the maximum heap size.
Note

The units accepted by JVM settings such as -Xmx and -Xms are those accepted by the JDK java binary in the corresponding image. Accordingly, 1g or 1G means 1,073,741,824 bytes, and Gi is not a valid unit suffix. This is in contrast to the units used for memory requests and limits, which follow the OpenShift convention where 1G means 1,000,000,000 bytes, and 1Gi means 1,073,741,824 bytes

The default values used for -Xms and -Xmx depends on whether there is a memory request limit configured for the container.

  • If there is a memory limit, the JVM’s minimum and maximum memory is set to a value corresponding to the limit.
  • If there is no memory limit, the JVM’s minimum memory is set to 128M. The JVM’s maximum memory is not defined to allow the memory to grow as needed, which is ideal for single node environments in test and development.
Important

Setting -Xmx explicitly requires some care:

  • The JVM’s overall memory usage will be approximately 4 × the maximum heap, as configured by -Xmx.
  • If -Xmx is set without also setting an appropriate OpenShift memory limit, it is possible that the container will be killed should the OpenShift node experience memory pressure (from other Pods running on it).
  • If -Xmx is set without also setting an appropriate OpenShift memory request, it is possible that the container will be scheduled to a node with insufficient memory. In this case, the container will not start but crash (immediately if -Xms is set to -Xmx, or some later time if not).

When setting -Xmx explicitly, it is recommended to:

  • Set the memory request and the memory limit to the same value
  • Use a memory request that is at least 4.5 × the -Xmx
  • Consider setting -Xms to the same value as -Xmx
Important

Containers doing lots of disk I/O (such as Kafka broker containers) will need to leave some memory available for use as an operating system page cache. On such containers, the requested memory should be significantly higher than the memory used by the JVM.

Example fragment configuring -Xmx and -Xms

# ...
jvmOptions:
  "-Xmx": "2g"
  "-Xms": "2g"
# ...

In the above example, the JVM will use 2 GiB (=2,147,483,648 bytes) for its heap. Its total memory usage will be approximately 8GiB.

Setting the same value for initial (-Xms) and maximum (-Xmx) heap sizes avoids the JVM having to allocate memory after startup, at the cost of possibly allocating more heap than is really needed. For Kafka and ZooKeeper pods such allocation could cause unwanted latency. For Kafka Connect avoiding over allocation may be the most important concern, especially in distributed mode where the effects of over-allocation is multiplied by the number of consumers.

-server

-server enables the server JVM. This option can be set to true or false.

Example fragment configuring -server

# ...
jvmOptions:
  "-server": true
# ...

Note

When neither of the two options (-server and -XX) are specified, the default Apache Kafka configuration of KAFKA_JVM_PERFORMANCE_OPTS is used.

-XX

-XX object can be used for configuring advanced runtime options of a JVM. The -server and -XX options are used to configure the KAFKA_JVM_PERFORMANCE_OPTS option of Apache Kafka.

Example showing the use of the -XX object

jvmOptions:
  "-XX":
    "UseG1GC": true
    "MaxGCPauseMillis": 20
    "InitiatingHeapOccupancyPercent": 35
    "ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent": true

The example configuration above will result in the following JVM options:

-XX:+UseG1GC -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=20 -XX:InitiatingHeapOccupancyPercent=35 -XX:+ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent -XX:-UseParNewGC
Note

When neither of the two options (-server and -XX) are specified, the default Apache Kafka configuration of KAFKA_JVM_PERFORMANCE_OPTS is used.

B.1.10. Garbage collector logging

The jvmOptions property also allows you to enable and disable garbage collector (GC) logging. GC logging is disabled by default. To enable it, set the gcLoggingEnabled property as follows:

Example of enabling GC logging

# ...
jvmOptions:
  gcLoggingEnabled: true
# ...

kind: Kafka
spec:
  kafka:
    # ...
    listeners:
      - name: plain
        port: 9092
        type: internal
        tls: false
    # ...
  zookeeper:
    # ...

B.4.2. config

Use the config properties to configure Kafka brokers as keys with values in one of the following JSON types:

  • String
  • Number
  • Boolean

You can specify and configure all of the options in the "Broker Configs" section of the Apache Kafka documentation apart from those managed directly by AMQ Streams. Specifically, all configuration options with keys equal to or starting with one of the following strings are forbidden:

  • listeners
  • advertised.
  • broker.
  • listener.
  • host.name
  • port
  • inter.broker.listener.name
  • sasl.
  • ssl.
  • security.
  • password.
  • principal.builder.class
  • log.dir
  • zookeeper.connect
  • zookeeper.set.acl
  • authorizer.
  • super.user

When a forbidden option is present in the config property, it is ignored and a warning message is printed to the Cluster Operator log file. All other supported options are passed to Kafka.

There are exceptions to the forbidden options. For client connection using a specific cipher suite for a TLS version, you can configure allowed ssl properties. You can also configure the zookeeper.connection.timeout.ms property to set the maximum time allowed for establishing a ZooKeeper connection.

kind: Kafka
metadata:
  name: my-cluster
spec:
  kafka:
    #...
    listeners:
      - name: plain
        port: 9092
        type: internal
        tls: false
      - name: tls
        port: 9093
        type: internal
        tls: true
        authentication:
          type: tls
      - name: external1
        port: 9094
        type: route
        tls: true
      - name: external2
        port: 9095
        type: ingress
        tls: false
        authentication:
          type: tls
        configuration:
          bootstrap:
            host: bootstrap.myingress.com
          brokers:
          - broker: 0
            host: broker-0.myingress.com
          - broker: 1
            host: broker-1.myingress.com
          - broker: 2
            host: broker-2.myingress.com
    #...

B.9.1. listeners

You configure Kafka broker listeners using the listeners property in the Kafka resource. Listeners are defined as an array.

Example listener configuration

listeners:
  - name: plain
    port: 9092
    type: internal
    tls: false

The name and port must be unique within the Kafka cluster. The name can be up to 25 characters long, comprising lower-case letters and numbers. Allowed port numbers are 9092 and higher with the exception of ports 9404 and 9999, which are already used for Prometheus and JMX.

By specifying a unique name and port for each listener, you can configure multiple listeners.

B.9.2. type

The type is set as internal, or for external listeners, as route, loadbalancer, nodeport or ingress.

internal

You can configure internal listeners with or without encryption using the tls property.

Example internal listener configuration

#...
spec:
  kafka:
    #...
    listeners:
      #...
      - name: plain
        port: 9092
        type: internal
        tls: false
      - name: tls
        port: 9093
        type: internal
        tls: true
        authentication:
          type: tls
    #...

route

Configures an external listener to expose Kafka using OpenShift Routes and the HAProxy router.

A dedicated Route is created for every Kafka broker pod. An additional Route is created to serve as a Kafka bootstrap address. Kafka clients can use these Routes to connect to Kafka on port 443. The client connects on port 443, the default router port, but traffic is then routed to the port you configure, which is 9094 in this example.

Example route listener configuration

#...
spec:
  kafka:
    #...
    listeners:
      #...
      - name: external1
        port: 9094
        type: route
        tls: true
    #...

ingress

Configures an external listener to expose Kafka using Kubernetes Ingress and the NGINX Ingress Controller for Kubernetes.

A dedicated Ingress resource is created for every Kafka broker pod. An additional Ingress resource is created to serve as a Kafka bootstrap address. Kafka clients can use these Ingress resources to connect to Kafka on port 443. The client connects on port 443, the default controller port, but traffic is then routed to the port you configure, which is 9095 in the following example.

You must specify the hostnames used by the bootstrap and per-broker services using GenericKafkaListenerConfigurationBootstrap and GenericKafkaListenerConfigurationBroker properties.

Example ingress listener configuration

#...
spec:
  kafka:
    #...
    listeners:
      #...
      - name: external2
        port: 9095
        type: ingress
        tls: false
        authentication:
          type: tls
        configuration:
          bootstrap:
            host: bootstrap.myingress.com
          brokers:
          - broker: 0
            host: broker-0.myingress.com
          - broker: 1
            host: broker-1.myingress.com
          - broker: 2
            host: broker-2.myingress.com
  #...

Note

External listeners using Ingress are currently only tested with the NGINX Ingress Controller for Kubernetes.

loadbalancer

Configures an external listener to expose Kafka Loadbalancer type Services.

A new loadbalancer service is created for every Kafka broker pod. An additional loadbalancer is created to serve as a Kafka bootstrap address. Loadbalancers listen to the specified port number, which is port 9094 in the following example.

You can use the loadBalancerSourceRanges property to configure source ranges to restrict access to the specified IP addresses.

Example loadbalancer listener configuration

#...
spec:
  kafka:
    #...
    listeners:
      - name: external3
        port: 9094
        type: loadbalancer
        tls: true
        configuration:
          loadBalancerSourceRanges:
            - 10.0.0.0/8
            - 88.208.76.87/32
    #...

nodeport

Configures an external listener to expose Kafka using NodePort type Services.

Kafka clients connect directly to the nodes of OpenShift. An additional NodePort type of service is created to serve as a Kafka bootstrap address.

When configuring the advertised addresses for the Kafka broker pods, AMQ Streams uses the address of the node on which the given pod is running. You can use preferredNodePortAddressType property to configure the first address type checked as the node address.

Example nodeport listener configuration

#...
spec:
  kafka:
    #...
    listeners:
      #...
      - name: external4
        port: 9095
        type: nodeport
        tls: false
        configuration:
          preferredNodePortAddressType: InternalDNS
    #...

Note

TLS hostname verification is not currently supported when exposing Kafka clusters using node ports.

B.9.3. port

The port number is the port used in the Kafka cluster, which might not be the same port used for access by a client.

  • loadbalancer listeners use the specified port number, as do internal listeners
  • ingress and route listeners use port 443 for access
  • nodeport listeners use the port number assigned by OpenShift

For client connection, use the address and port for the bootstrap service of the listener. You can retrieve this from the status of the Kafka resource.

Example command to retrieve the address and port for client connection

oc get kafka KAFKA-CLUSTER-NAME -o=jsonpath='{.status.listeners[?(@.type=="external")].bootstrapServers}{"\n"}'

Note

Listeners cannot be configured to use the ports set aside for interbroker communication (9091) and metrics (9404).

B.9.4. tls

The TLS property is required.

By default, TLS encryption is not enabled. To enable it, set the tls property to true.

TLS encryption is always used with route listeners.

B.9.5. authentication

Authentication for the listener can be specified as:

  • Mutual TLS (tls)
  • SCRAM-SHA-512 (scram-sha-512)
  • Token-based OAuth 2.0 (oauth).

B.9.6. networkPolicyPeers

Use networkPolicyPeers to configure network policies that restrict access to a listener at the network level. The following example shows a networkPolicyPeers configuration for a plain and a tls listener.

listeners:
  #...
  - name: plain
    port: 9092
    type: internal
    tls: true
    authentication:
      type: scram-sha-512
    networkPolicyPeers:
      - podSelector:
          matchLabels:
            app: kafka-sasl-consumer
      - podSelector:
          matchLabels:
            app: kafka-sasl-producer
  - name: tls
    port: 9093
    type: internal
    tls: true
    authentication:
      type: tls
    networkPolicyPeers:
      - namespaceSelector:
          matchLabels:
            project: myproject
      - namespaceSelector:
          matchLabels:
            project: myproject2
# ...

In the example:

  • Only application pods matching the labels app: kafka-sasl-consumer and app: kafka-sasl-producer can connect to the plain listener. The application pods must be running in the same namespace as the Kafka broker.
  • Only application pods running in namespaces matching the labels project: myproject and project: myproject2 can connect to the tls listener.

The syntax of the networkPolicyPeers field is the same as the from field in NetworkPolicy resources.

Backwards compatibility with KafkaListeners

GenericKafkaListener replaces the KafkaListeners schema, which is now deprecated.

To convert the listeners configured using the KafkaListeners schema into the format of the GenericKafkaListener schema, with backwards compatibility, use the following names, ports and types:

listeners:
  #...
  - name: plain
    port: 9092
    type: internal
    tls: false
  - name: tls
    port: 9093
    type: internal
    tls: true
  - name: external
    port: 9094
    type: EXTERNAL-LISTENER-TYPE 1
    tls: true
# ...
1
Options: ingress, loadbalancer, nodeport, route

boolean

enableECDSA

Enable or disable ECDSA support by installing BouncyCastle crypto provider. Default value is false.

boolean

fallbackUserNameClaim

The fallback username claim to be used for the user id if the claim specified by userNameClaim is not present. This is useful when client_credentials authentication only results in the client id being provided in another claim. It only takes effect if userNameClaim is set.

string

fallbackUserNamePrefix

The prefix to use with the value of fallbackUserNameClaim to construct the user id. This only takes effect if fallbackUserNameClaim is true, and the value is present for the claim. Mapping usernames and client ids into the same user id space is useful in preventing name collisions.

B.15. GenericKafkaListenerConfiguration schema reference

Used in: GenericKafkaListener

Configuration for Kafka listeners.

B.15.1. brokerCertChainAndKey

The brokerCertChainAndKey property is only used with listeners that have TLS encryption enabled. You can use the property to providing your own Kafka listener certificates.

Example configuration for a loadbalancer external listener with TLS encryption enabled

listeners:
  #...
  - name: external
    port: 9094
    type: loadbalancer
    tls: true
    authentication:
      type: tls
    configuration:
      brokerCertChainAndKey:
        secretName: my-secret
        certificate: my-listener-certificate.crt
        key: my-listener-key.key
# ...

B.15.2. externalTrafficPolicy

The externalTrafficPolicy property is used with loadbalancer and nodeport listeners. When exposing Kafka outside of OpenShift you can choose Local or Cluster. Local avoids hops to other nodes and preserves the client IP, whereas Cluster does neither. The default is Cluster.

B.15.3. loadBalancerSourceRanges

The loadBalancerSourceRanges property is only used with loadbalancer listeners. When exposing Kafka outside of OpenShift use source ranges, in addition to labels and annotations, to customize how a service is created.

Example source ranges configured for a loadbalancer listener

listeners:
  #...
  - name: external
    port: 9094
    type: loadbalancer
    tls: false
    configuration:
      externalTrafficPolicy: Local
      loadBalancerSourceRanges:
        - 10.0.0.0/8
        - 88.208.76.87/32
      # ...
# ...

B.15.4. class

The class property is only used with ingress listeners.

By default, the Ingress class is set to nginx. You can change the Ingress class using the class property.

Example of an external listener of type ingress using Ingress class nginx-internal

listeners:
  #...
  - name: external
    port: 9094
    type: ingress
    tls: false
    configuration:
      class: nginx-internal
    # ...
# ...

B.15.5. preferredNodePortAddressType

The preferredNodePortAddressType property is only used with nodeport listeners.

Use the preferredNodePortAddressType property in your listener configuration to specify the first address type checked as the node address. This property is useful, for example, if your deployment does not have DNS support, or you only want to expose a broker internally through an internal DNS or IP address. If an address of this type is found, it is used. If the preferred address type is not found, AMQ Streams proceeds through the types in the standard order of priority:

  1. ExternalDNS
  2. ExternalIP
  3. Hostname
  4. InternalDNS
  5. InternalIP

Example of an external listener configured with a preferred node port address type

listeners:
  #...
  - name: external
    port: 9094
    type: nodeport
    tls: false
    configuration:
      preferredNodePortAddressType: InternalDNS
      # ...
# ...

B.15.6. useServiceDnsDomain

The useServiceDnsDomain property is only used with internal listeners. It defines whether the fully-qualified DNS names that include the cluster service suffix (usually .cluster.local) are used. With useServiceDnsDomain set as false, the advertised addresses are generated without the service suffix; for example, my-cluster-kafka-0.my-cluster-kafka-brokers.myproject.svc. With useServiceDnsDomain set as true, the advertised addresses are generated with the service suffix; for example, my-cluster-kafka-0.my-cluster-kafka-brokers.myproject.svc.cluster.local. Default is false.

Example of an internal listener configured to use the Service DNS domain

listeners:
  #...
  - name: plain
    port: 9092
    type: internal
    tls: false
    configuration:
      useServiceDnsDomain: true
      # ...
# ...

If your OpenShift cluster uses a different service suffix than .cluster.local, you can configure the suffix using the KUBERNETES_SERVICE_DNS_DOMAIN environment variable in the Cluster Operator configuration. See Section 5.1.1, “Cluster Operator configuration” for more details.

PropertyDescription

brokerCertChainAndKey

Reference to the Secret which holds the certificate and private key pair which will be used for this listener. The certificate can optionally contain the whole chain. This field can be used only with listeners with enabled TLS encryption.

CertAndKeySecretSource

externalTrafficPolicy

Specifies whether the service routes external traffic to node-local or cluster-wide endpoints. Cluster may cause a second hop to another node and obscures the client source IP. Local avoids a second hop for LoadBalancer and Nodeport type services and preserves the client source IP (when supported by the infrastructure). If unspecified, OpenShift will use Cluster as the default.This field can be used only with loadbalancer or nodeport type listener.

string (one of [Local, Cluster])

loadBalancerSourceRanges

A list of CIDR ranges (for example 10.0.0.0/8 or 130.211.204.1/32) from which clients can connect to load balancer type listeners. If supported by the platform, traffic through the loadbalancer is restricted to the specified CIDR ranges. This field is applicable only for loadbalancer type services and is ignored if the cloud provider does not support the feature. For more information, see https://v1-17.docs.kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/configure-cloud-provider-firewall/. This field can be used only with loadbalancer type listener.

string array

bootstrap

Bootstrap configuration.

GenericKafkaListenerConfigurationBootstrap

brokers

Per-broker configurations.

GenericKafkaListenerConfigurationBroker array

class

Configures the Ingress class that defines which Ingress controller will be used. If not set, the Ingress class is set to nginx. This field can be used only with ingress type listener.

string

preferredNodePortAddressType

Defines which address type should be used as the node address. Available types are: ExternalDNS, ExternalIP, InternalDNS, InternalIP and Hostname. By default, the addresses will be used in the following order (the first one found will be used): * ExternalDNS * ExternalIP * InternalDNS * InternalIP * Hostname

This field can be used to select the address type which will be used as the preferred type and checked first. In case no address will be found for this address type, the other types will be used in the default order.This field can be used only with nodeport type listener..

string (one of [ExternalDNS, ExternalIP, Hostname, InternalIP, InternalDNS])

useServiceDnsDomain

Configures whether the OpenShift service DNS domain should be used or not. If set to true, the generated addresses with contain the service DNS domain suffix (by default .cluster.local, can be configured using environment variable KUBERNETES_SERVICE_DNS_DOMAIN). Defaults to false.This field can be used only with internal type listener.

boolean

B.16. CertAndKeySecretSource schema reference

Used in: GenericKafkaListenerConfiguration, IngressListenerConfiguration, KafkaClientAuthenticationTls, KafkaListenerExternalConfiguration, NodePortListenerConfiguration, TlsListenerConfiguration

PropertyDescription

certificate

The name of the file certificate in the Secret.

string

key

The name of the private key in the Secret.

string

secretName

The name of the Secret containing the certificate.

string

B.17. GenericKafkaListenerConfigurationBootstrap schema reference

Used in: GenericKafkaListenerConfiguration

Configures bootstrap service overrides for external listeners.

Broker service equivalents of nodePort, host, loadBalancerIP and annotations properties are configured in the GenericKafkaListenerConfigurationBroker schema.

B.17.1. alternativeNames

You can specify alternative names for the bootstrap service. The names are added to the broker certificates and can be used for TLS hostname verification. The alternativeNames property is applicable to all types of external listeners.

Example of an external route listener configured with an additional bootstrap address

listeners:
  #...
  - name: external
    port: 9094
    type: route
    tls: true
    authentication:
      type: tls
    configuration:
      bootstrap:
        alternativeNames:
          - example.hostname1
          - example.hostname2
# ...

B.17.2. host

The host property is used with route and ingress listeners to specify the hostnames used by the bootstrap and per-broker services.

A host property value is mandatory for ingress listener configuration, as the Ingress controller does not assign any hostnames automatically. Make sure that the hostnames resolve to the Ingress endpoints. AMQ Streams will not perform any validation that the requested hosts are available and properly routed to the Ingress endpoints.

Example of host configuration for an ingress listener

listeners:
  #...
  - name: external
    port: 9094
    type: ingress
    tls: true
    authentication:
      type: tls
    configuration:
      bootstrap:
        host: bootstrap.myingress.com
      brokers:
      - broker: 0
        host: broker-0.myingress.com
      - broker: 1
        host: broker-1.myingress.com
      - broker: 2
        host: broker-2.myingress.com
# ...

By default, route listener hosts are automatically assigned by OpenShift. However, you can override the assigned route hosts by specifying hosts.

AMQ Streams does not perform any validation that the requested hosts are available. You must ensure that they are free and can be used.

Example of host configuration for a route listener

# ...
listeners:
  #...
  - name: external
    port: 9094
    type: route
    tls: true
    authentication:
      type: tls
    configuration:
      bootstrap:
        host: bootstrap.myrouter.com
      brokers:
      - broker: 0
        host: broker-0.myrouter.com
      - broker: 1
        host: broker-1.myrouter.com
      - broker: 2
        host: broker-2.myrouter.com
# ...

B.17.3. nodePort

By default, the port numbers used for the bootstrap and broker services are automatically assigned by OpenShift. You can override the assigned node ports for nodeport listeners by specifying the requested port numbers.

AMQ Streams does not perform any validation on the requested ports. You must ensure that they are free and available for use.

Example of an external listener configured with overrides for node ports

# ...
listeners:
  #...
  - name: external
    port: 9094
    type: nodeport
    tls: true
    authentication:
      type: tls
    configuration:
      bootstrap:
        nodePort: 32100
      brokers:
      - broker: 0
        nodePort: 32000
      - broker: 1
        nodePort: 32001
      - broker: 2
        nodePort: 32002
# ...

B.17.4. loadBalancerIP

Use the loadBalancerIP property to request a specific IP address when creating a loadbalancer. Use this property when you need to use a loadbalancer with a specific IP address. The loadBalancerIP field is ignored if the cloud provider does not support the feature.

Example of an external listener of type loadbalancer with specific loadbalancer IP address requests

# ...
listeners:
  #...
  - name: external
    port: 9094
    type: loadbalancer
    tls: true
    authentication:
      type: tls
    configuration:
      bootstrap:
        loadBalancerIP: 172.29.3.10
      brokers:
      - broker: 0
        loadBalancerIP: 172.29.3.1
      - broker: 1
        loadBalancerIP: 172.29.3.2
      - broker: 2
        loadBalancerIP: 172.29.3.3
# ...

B.17.5. annotations

Use the annotations property to add annotations to loadbalancer, nodeport or ingress listeners. You can use these annotations to instrument DNS tooling such as External DNS, which automatically assigns DNS names to the loadbalancer services.

Example of an external listener of type loadbalancer using annotations

# ...
listeners:
  #...
  - name: external
    port: 9094
    type: loadbalancer
    tls: true
    authentication:
      type: tls
    configuration:
      bootstrap:
        annotations:
          external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/hostname: kafka-bootstrap.mydomain.com.
          external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/ttl: "60"
      brokers:
      - broker: 0
        annotations:
          external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/hostname: kafka-broker-0.mydomain.com.
          external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/ttl: "60"
      - broker: 1
        annotations:
          external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/hostname: kafka-broker-1.mydomain.com.
          external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/ttl: "60"
      - broker: 2
        annotations:
          external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/hostname: kafka-broker-2.mydomain.com.
          external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/ttl: "60"
# ...

B.18. GenericKafkaListenerConfigurationBroker schema reference

Used in: GenericKafkaListenerConfiguration

Configures broker service overrides for external listeners.

You can see example configuration for the nodePort, host, loadBalancerIP and annotations properties in the GenericKafkaListenerConfigurationBootstrap schema, which configures bootstrap service overrides for external listeners.

Advertised addresses for brokers

By default, AMQ Streams tries to automatically determine the hostnames and ports that your Kafka cluster advertises to its clients. This is not sufficient in all situations, because the infrastructure on which AMQ Streams is running might not provide the right hostname or port through which Kafka can be accessed.

You can specify a broker ID and customize the advertised hostname and port in the configuration property of the external listener. AMQ Streams will then automatically configure the advertised address in the Kafka brokers and add it to the broker certificates so it can be used for TLS hostname verification. Overriding the advertised host and ports is available for all types of external listeners.

Example of an external route listener configured with overrides for advertised addresses

listeners:
  #...
  - name: external
    port: 9094
    type: route
    tls: true
    authentication:
      type: tls
    configuration:
      brokers:
      - broker: 0

MetadataTemplate

imagePullSecrets

List of references to secrets in the same namespace to use for pulling any of the images used by this Pod. When the STRIMZI_IMAGE_PULL_SECRETS environment variable in Cluster Operator and the imagePullSecrets option are specified, only the imagePullSecrets variable is used and the STRIMZI_IMAGE_PULL_SECRETS variable is ignored. See external documentation of core/v1 localobjectreference.

LocalObjectReference array

securityContext

Configures pod-level security attributes and common container settings. See external documentation of core/v1 podsecuritycontext.

The grace period is the duration in seconds after the processes running in the pod are sent a termination signal, and the time when the processes are forcibly halted with a kill signal. Set this value to longer than the expected cleanup time for your process. Value must be a non-negative integer. A zero value indicates delete immediately. You might need to increase the grace period for very large Kafka clusters, so that the Kafka brokers have enough time to transfer their work to another broker before they are terminated. Defaults to 30 seconds.

PropertyDescription

metadata

Metadata applied to the resource.

MetadataTemplate

B.58. ExternalServiceTemplate schema reference

Used in: KafkaClusterTemplate

When exposing Kafka outside of OpenShift using loadbalancers or node ports, you can use properties, in addition to labels and annotations, to customize how a Service is created.

An example showing customized external services

# ...
template:
  externalBootstrapService:
    externalTrafficPolicy: Local
    loadBalancerSourceRanges:
      - 10.0.0.0/8
      - 88.208.76.87/32
  perPodService:
    externalTrafficPolicy: Local
    loadBalancerSourceRanges:
      - 10.0.0.0/8
      - 88.208.76.87/32
# ...

PropertyDescription

metadata

Metadata applied to the resource.

MetadataTemplate

externalTrafficPolicy

The property externalTrafficPolicy has been deprecated. Specifies whether the service routes external traffic to node-local or cluster-wide endpoints. Cluster may cause a second hop to another node and obscures the client source IP. Local avoids a second hop for LoadBalancer and Nodeport type services and preserves the client source IP (when supported by the infrastructure). If unspecified, OpenShift will use Cluster as the default.

string (one of [Local, Cluster])

loadBalancerSourceRanges

The property loadBalancerSourceRanges has been deprecated. A list of CIDR ranges (for example 10.0.0.0/8 or 130.211.204.1/32) from which clients can connect to load balancer type listeners. If supported by the platform, traffic through the loadbalancer is restricted to the specified CIDR ranges. This field is applicable only for loadbalancer type services and is ignored if the cloud provider does not support the feature. For more information, see https://v1-17.docs.kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/configure-cloud-provider-firewall/.

string array

B.59. PodDisruptionBudgetTemplate schema reference

Used in: CruiseControlTemplate, KafkaBridgeTemplate, KafkaClusterTemplate, KafkaConnectTemplate, KafkaMirrorMakerTemplate, ZookeeperClusterTemplate

AMQ Streams creates a PodDisruptionBudget for every new StatefulSet or Deployment. By default, pod disruption budgets only allow a single pod to be unavailable at a given time. You can increase the amount of unavailable pods allowed by changing the default value of the maxUnavailable property in the PodDisruptionBudget.spec resource.

An example of PodDisruptionBudget template

# ...
template:
    podDisruptionBudget:
        metadata:
            labels:
                key1: label1
                key2: label2
            annotations:
                key1: label1
                key2: label2
        maxUnavailable: 1
# ...

PropertyDescription

metadata

Metadata to apply to the PodDistruptionBugetTemplate resource.

MetadataTemplate

maxUnavailable

Maximum number of unavailable pods to allow automatic Pod eviction. A Pod eviction is allowed when the maxUnavailable number of pods or fewer are unavailable after the eviction. Setting this value to 0 prevents all voluntary evictions, so the pods must be evicted manually. Defaults to 1.

integer

B.60. ContainerTemplate schema reference

Used in: CruiseControlTemplate, EntityOperatorTemplate, KafkaBridgeTemplate, KafkaClusterTemplate, KafkaConnectTemplate, KafkaExporterTemplate, KafkaMirrorMakerTemplate, ZookeeperClusterTemplate

You can set custom security context and environment variables for a container.

The environment variables are defined under the env property as a list of objects with name and value fields. The following example shows two custom environment variables and a custom security context set for the Kafka broker containers:

# ...
template:
  kafkaContainer:
    env:
    - name: EXAMPLE_ENV_1
      value: example.env.one
    - name: EXAMPLE_ENV_2
      value: example.env.two
    securityContext:
      runAsUser: 2000
# ...

Environment variables prefixed with KAFKA_ are internal to AMQ Streams and should be avoided. If you set a custom environment variable that is already in use by AMQ Streams, it is ignored and a warning is recorded in the log.

PropertyDescription

KafkaConnectStatus

B.80. KafkaConnectSpec schema reference

Used in: KafkaConnect

Configures a Kafka Connect cluster.

B.80.1. config

Use the config properties to configure Kafka options as keys.

Standard Apache Kafka Connect configuration may be provided, restricted to those properties not managed directly by AMQ Streams.

Configuration options that cannot be configured relate to:

  • Kafka cluster bootstrap address
  • Security (Encryption, Authentication, and Authorization)
  • Listener / REST interface configuration
  • Plugin path configuration

The values can be one of the following JSON types:

  • String
  • Number
  • Boolean

You can specify and configure the options listed in the Apache Kafka documentation with the exception of those options that are managed directly by AMQ Streams. Specifically, configuration options with keys equal to or starting with one of the following strings are forbidden:

  • ssl.
  • sasl.
  • security.
  • listeners
  • plugin.path
  • rest.
  • bootstrap.servers

When a forbidden option is present in the config property, it is ignored and a warning message is printed to the Cluster Operator log file. All other options are passed to Kafka Connect.

Important

The Cluster Operator does not validate keys or values in the config object provided. When an invalid configuration is provided, the Kafka Connect cluster might not start or might become unstable. In this circumstance, fix the configuration in the KafkaConnect.spec.config or KafkaConnectS2I.spec.config object, then the Cluster Operator can roll out the new configuration to all Kafka Connect nodes.

Certain options have default values:

  • group.id with default value connect-cluster
  • offset.storage.topic with default value connect-cluster-offsets
  • config.storage.topic with default value connect-cluster-configs
  • status.storage.topic with default value connect-cluster-status
  • key.converter with default value org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
  • value.converter with default value org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter

These options are automatically configured in case they are not present in the KafkaConnect.spec.config or KafkaConnectS2I.spec.config properties.

There are exceptions to the forbidden options. You can use three allowed ssl configuration options for client connection using a specific cipher suite for a TLS version. A cipher suite combines algorithms for secure connection and data transfer. You can also configure the ssl.endpoint.identification.algorithm property to enable or disable hostname verification.

Example Kafka Connect configuration

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta1
kind: KafkaConnect
metadata:
  name: my-connect
spec:
  # ...
  config:
    group.id: my-connect-cluster
    offset.storage.topic: my-connect-cluster-offsets
    config.storage.topic: my-connect-cluster-configs
    status.storage.topic: my-connect-cluster-status
    key.converter: org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
    value.converter: org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
    key.converter.schemas.enable: true
    value.converter.schemas.enable: true
    config.storage.replication.factor: 3
    offset.storage.replication.factor: 3
    status.storage.replication.factor: 3
    ssl.cipher.suites: "TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384"
    ssl.enabled.protocols: "TLSv1.2"
    ssl.protocol: "TLSv1.2"
    ssl.endpoint.identification.algorithm: HTTPS
  # ...

For client connection using a specific cipher suite for a TLS version, you can configure allowed ssl properties. You can also configure the ssl.endpoint.identification.algorithm property to enable or disable hostname verification.

B.80.2. logging

Kafka Connect (and Kafka Connect with Source2Image support) has its own configurable loggers:

  • connect.root.logger.level
  • log4j.logger.org.reflections

Further loggers are added depending on the Kafka Connect plugins running.

Use a curl request to get a complete list of Kafka Connect loggers running from any Kafka broker pod:

curl -s http://<connect-cluster-name>-connect-api:8083/admin/loggers/

Kafka Connect uses the Apache log4j logger implementation.

Use the logging property to configure loggers and logger levels.

You can set the log levels by specifying the logger and level directly (inline) or use a custom (external) ConfigMap. If a ConfigMap is used, you set logging.name property to the name of the ConfigMap containing the external logging configuration. Inside the ConfigMap, the logging configuration is described using log4j.properties. For more information about log levels, see Apache logging services.

Here we see examples of inline and external logging.

Inline logging

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta1
kind: KafkaConnect
spec:
  # ...
  logging:
    type: inline
    loggers:
      connect.root.logger.level: "INFO"
  # ...

External logging

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta1
kind: KafkaConnect
spec:
  # ...
  logging:
    type: external
    name: customConfigMap
  # ...

Any available loggers that are not configured have their level set to OFF.

If Kafka Connect was deployed using the Cluster Operator, changes to Kafka Connect logging levels are applied dynamically.

If you use external logging, a rolling update is triggered when logging appenders are changed.

Garbage collector (GC)

Garbage collector logging can also be enabled (or disabled) using the jvmOptions property.

B.82. KafkaClientAuthenticationTls schema reference

Used in: KafkaBridgeSpec, KafkaConnectS2ISpec, KafkaConnectSpec, KafkaMirrorMaker2ClusterSpec, KafkaMirrorMakerConsumerSpec, KafkaMirrorMakerProducerSpec

To use TLS client authentication, set the type property to the value tls. TLS client authentication uses a TLS certificate to authenticate.

B.82.1. certificateAndKey

The certificate is specified in the certificateAndKey property and is always loaded from an OpenShift secret. In the secret, the certificate must be stored in X509 format under two different keys: public and private.

You can use the secrets created by the User Operator, or you can create your own TLS certificate file, with the keys used for authentication, then create a Secret from the file:

oc create secret generic MY-SECRET \
--from-file=MY-PUBLIC-TLS-CERTIFICATE-FILE.crt \
--from-file=MY-PRIVATE.key
Note

TLS client authentication can only be used with TLS connections.

Example TLS client authentication configuration

authentication:
  type: tls
  certificateAndKey:
    secretName: my-secret
    certificate: my-public-tls-certificate-file.crt
    key: private.key

B.86. KafkaClientAuthenticationOAuth schema reference

Used in: KafkaBridgeSpec, KafkaConnectS2ISpec, KafkaConnectSpec, KafkaMirrorMaker2ClusterSpec, KafkaMirrorMakerConsumerSpec, KafkaMirrorMakerProducerSpec

To use OAuth client authentication, set the type property to the value oauth.

OAuth authentication can be configured using one of the following options:

  • Client ID and secret
  • Client ID and refresh token
  • Access token
  • TLS

Client ID and secret

You can configure the address of your authorization server in the tokenEndpointUri property together with the client ID and client secret used in authentication. The OAuth client will connect to the OAuth server, authenticate using the client ID and secret and get an access token which it will use to authenticate with the Kafka broker. In the clientSecret property, specify a link to a Secret containing the client secret.

An example of OAuth client authentication using client ID and client secret

authentication:
  type: oauth
  tokenEndpointUri: https://sso.myproject.svc:8443/auth/realms/internal/protocol/openid-connect/token
  clientId: my-client-id
  clientSecret:
    secretName: my-client-oauth-secret
    key: client-secret

Client ID and refresh token

You can configure the address of your OAuth server in the tokenEndpointUri property together with the OAuth client ID and refresh token. The OAuth client will connect to the OAuth server, authenticate using the client ID and refresh token and get an access token which it will use to authenticate with the Kafka broker. In the refreshToken property, specify a link to a Secret containing the refresh token.

+ .An example of OAuth client authentication using client ID and refresh token

authentication:
  type: oauth
  tokenEndpointUri: https://sso.myproject.svc:8443/auth/realms/internal/protocol/openid-connect/token
  clientId: my-client-id
  refreshToken:
    secretName: my-refresh-token-secret
    key: refresh-token

Access token

You can configure the access token used for authentication with the Kafka broker directly. In this case, you do not specify the tokenEndpointUri. In the accessToken property, specify a link to a Secret containing the access token.

An example of OAuth client authentication using only an access token

authentication:
  type: oauth
  accessToken:
    secretName: my-access-token-secret
    key: access-token

TLS

Accessing the OAuth server using the HTTPS protocol does not require any additional configuration as long as the TLS certificates used by it are signed by a trusted certification authority and its hostname is listed in the certificate.

If your OAuth server is using certificates which are self-signed or are signed by a certification authority which is not trusted, you can configure a list of trusted certificates in the custom resoruce. The tlsTrustedCertificates property contains a list of secrets with key names under which the certificates are stored. The certificates must be stored in X509 format.

An example of TLS certificates provided

authentication:
  type: oauth
  tokenEndpointUri: https://sso.myproject.svc:8443/auth/realms/internal/protocol/openid-connect/token
  clientId: my-client-id
  refreshToken:
    secretName: my-refresh-token-secret
    key: refresh-token
  tlsTrustedCertificates:
    - secretName: oauth-server-ca
      certificate: tls.crt

The OAuth client will by default verify that the hostname of your OAuth server matches either the certificate subject or one of the alternative DNS names. If it is not required, you can disable the hostname verification.

An example of disabled TLS hostname verification

authentication:
  type: oauth
  tokenEndpointUri: https://sso.myproject.svc:8443/auth/realms/internal/protocol/openid-connect/token
  clientId: my-client-id
  refreshToken:
    secretName: my-refresh-token-secret
    key: refresh-token
  disableTlsHostnameVerification: true

The type property is a discriminator that distinguishes the use of the type KafkaClientAuthenticationOAuth from KafkaClientAuthenticationTls, KafkaClientAuthenticationScramSha512, KafkaClientAuthenticationPlain. It must have the value oauth for the type KafkaClientAuthenticationOAuth.

PropertyDescription

B.89. ExternalConfiguration schema reference

Used in: KafkaConnectS2ISpec, KafkaConnectSpec, KafkaMirrorMaker2Spec

Configures external storage properties that define configuration options for Kafka Connect connectors.

You can mount ConfigMaps or Secrets into a Kafka Connect pod as environment variables or volumes. Volumes and environment variables are configured in the externalConfiguration property in KafkaConnect.spec and KafkaConnectS2I.spec.

When applied, the environment variables and volumes are available for use when developing your connectors.

B.89.1. env

The env property is used to specify one or more environment variables. These variables can contain a value from either a ConfigMap or a Secret.

Example Secret containing values for environment variables

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: aws-creds
type: Opaque
data:
  awsAccessKey: QUtJQVhYWFhYWFhYWFhYWFg=
  awsSecretAccessKey: Ylhsd1lYTnpkMjl5WkE=

Note

The names of user-defined environment variables cannot start with KAFKA_ or STRIMZI_.

To mount a value from a Secret to an environment variable, use the valueFrom property and the secretKeyRef.

Example environment variables set to values from a Secret

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta1
kind: KafkaConnect
metadata:
  name: my-connect
spec:
  # ...
  externalConfiguration:
    env:
      - name: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
        valueFrom:
          secretKeyRef:
            name: aws-creds
            key: awsAccessKey
      - name: AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
        valueFrom:
          secretKeyRef:
            name: aws-creds
            key: awsSecretAccessKey

A common use case for mounting Secrets to environment variables is when your connector needs to communicate with Amazon AWS and needs to read the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variables with credentials.

To mount a value from a ConfigMap to an environment variable, use configMapKeyRef in the valueFrom property as shown in the following example.

Example environment variables set to values from a ConfigMap

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta1
kind: KafkaConnect
metadata:
  name: my-connect
spec:
  # ...
  externalConfiguration:
    env:
      - name: MY_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE
        valueFrom:
          configMapKeyRef:
            name: my-config-map
            key: my-key

B.89.2. volumes

You can also mount ConfigMaps or Secrets to a Kafka Connect pod as volumes.

Using volumes instead of environment variables is useful in the following scenarios:

  • Mounting truststores or keystores with TLS certificates
  • Mounting a properties file that is used to configure Kafka Connect connectors

Example Secret with properties

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: mysecret
type: Opaque
stringData:
  connector.properties: |- 1
    dbUsername: my-user 2
    dbPassword: my-password

1
The connector configuration in properties file format.
2
Database username and password properties used in the configuration.

In this example, a Secret named mysecret is mounted to a volume named connector-config. In the config property, a configuration provider (FileConfigProvider) is specified, which will load configuration values from external sources. The Kafka FileConfigProvider is given the alias file, and will read and extract database username and password property values from the file to use in the connector configuration.

Example external volumes set to values from a Secret

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta1
kind: KafkaConnect
metadata:
  name: my-connect
spec:
  # ...
  config:
    config.providers: file 1
    config.providers.file.class: org.apache.kafka.common.config.provider.FileConfigProvider 2
  #...
  externalConfiguration:
    volumes:
      - name: connector-config 3
        secret:
          secretName: mysecret 4

1
The alias for the configuration provider, which is used to define other configuration parameters. Use a comma-separated list if you want to add more than one provider.
2
The FileConfigProvider is the configuration provider that provides values from properties files. The parameter uses the alias from config.providers, taking the form config.providers.${alias}.class.
3
The name of the volume containing the Secret. Each volume must specify a name in the name property and a reference to ConfigMap or Secret.
4
The name of the Secret.

The volumes are mounted inside the Kafka Connect containers in the path /opt/kafka/external-configuration/<volume-name>. For example, the files from a volume named connector-config would appear in the directory /opt/kafka/external-configuration/connector-config.

The FileConfigProvider is used to read the values from the mounted properties files in connector configurations.

B.111. KafkaUserQuotas schema reference

Used in: KafkaUserSpec

Kafka allows a user to set quotas to control the use of resources by clients.

B.111.1. quotas

Quotas split into two categories:

  • Network usage quotas, which are defined as the byte rate threshold for each group of clients sharing a quota
  • CPU utilization quotas, which are defined as the percentage of time a client can utilize on request handler I/O threads and network threads of each broker within a quota window

Using quotas for Kafka clients might be useful in a number of situations. Consider a wrongly configured Kafka producer which is sending requests at too high a rate. Such misconfiguration can cause a denial of service to other clients, so the problematic client ought to be blocked. By using a network limiting quota, it is possible to prevent this situation from significantly impacting other clients.

AMQ Streams supports user-level quotas, but not client-level quotas.

An example Kafka user quotas

spec:
  quotas:
    producerByteRate: 1048576
    consumerByteRate: 2097152
    requestPercentage: 55

For more info about Kafka user quotas, refer to the Apache Kafka documentation.

PropertyDescription

consumerByteRate

A quota on the maximum bytes per-second that each client group can fetch from a broker before the clients in the group are throttled. Defined on a per-broker basis.

integer

producerByteRate

A quota on the maximum bytes per-second that each client group can publish to a broker before the clients in the group are throttled. Defined on a per-broker basis.

integer

requestPercentage

A quota on the maximum CPU utilization of each client group as a percentage of network and I/O threads.

integer

KafkaMirrorMakerStatus

B.115. KafkaMirrorMakerSpec schema reference

Used in: KafkaMirrorMaker

Configures Kafka MirrorMaker.

B.115.1. whitelist

Use the whitelist property to configure a list of topics that Kafka MirrorMaker mirrors from the source to the target Kafka cluster.

The property allows any regular expression from the simplest case with a single topic name to complex patterns. For example, you can mirror topics A and B using "A|B" or all topics using "*". You can also pass multiple regular expressions separated by commas to the Kafka MirrorMaker.

B.115.2. KafkaMirrorMakerConsumerSpec and KafkaMirrorMakerProducerSpec

Use the KafkaMirrorMakerConsumerSpec and KafkaMirrorMakerProducerSpec to configure source (consumer) and target (producer) clusters.

Kafka MirrorMaker always works together with two Kafka clusters (source and target). To establish a connection, the bootstrap servers for the source and the target Kafka clusters are specified as comma-separated lists of HOSTNAME:PORT pairs. Each comma-separated list contains one or more Kafka brokers or a Service pointing to Kafka brokers specified as a HOSTNAME:PORT pair.

B.115.3. logging

Kafka MirrorMaker has its own configurable logger:

  • mirrormaker.root.logger

MirrorMaker uses the Apache log4j logger implementation.

Use the logging property to configure loggers and logger levels.

You can set the log levels by specifying the logger and level directly (inline) or use a custom (external) ConfigMap. If a ConfigMap is used, you set logging.name property to the name of the ConfigMap containing the external logging configuration. Inside the ConfigMap, the logging configuration is described using log4j.properties. For more information about log levels, see Apache logging services.

Here we see examples of inline and external logging:

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta1
kind: KafkaMirrorMaker
spec:
  # ...
  logging:
    type: inline
    loggers:
      mirrormaker.root.logger: "INFO"
  # ...
apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta1
kind: KafkaMirrorMaker
spec:
  # ...
  logging:
    type: external
    name: customConfigMap
  # ...

Garbage collector (GC)

Garbage collector logging can also be enabled (or disabled) using the jvmOptions property.

PropertyDescription

The number of pods in the Deployment.

integer

image

The docker image for the pods.

string

whitelist

List of topics which are included for mirroring. This option allows any regular expression using Java-style regular expressions. Mirroring two topics named A and B is achieved by using the whitelist 'A|B'. Or, as a special case, you can mirror all topics using the whitelist '*'. You can also specify multiple regular expressions separated by commas.

string

string

B.116. KafkaMirrorMakerConsumerSpec schema reference

Used in: KafkaMirrorMakerSpec

Configures a MirrorMaker consumer.

B.116.1. numStreams

Use the consumer.numStreams property to configure the number of streams for the consumer.

You can increase the throughput in mirroring topics by increasing the number of consumer threads. Consumer threads belong to the consumer group specified for Kafka MirrorMaker. Topic partitions are assigned across the consumer threads, which consume messages in parallel.

B.116.2. offsetCommitInterval

Use the consumer.offsetCommitInterval property to configure an offset auto-commit interval for the consumer.

You can specify the regular time interval at which an offset is committed after Kafka MirrorMaker has consumed data from the source Kafka cluster. The time interval is set in milliseconds, with a default value of 60,000.

B.116.3. config

Use the consumer.config properties to configure Kafka options for the consumer.

The config property contains the Kafka MirrorMaker consumer configuration options as keys, with values set in one of the following JSON types:

  • String
  • Number
  • Boolean

For client connection using a specific cipher suite for a TLS version, you can configure allowed ssl properties. You can also configure the ssl.endpoint.identification.algorithm property to enable or disable hostname verification.

Exceptions

You can specify and configure the options listed in the Apache Kafka configuration documentation for consumers.

However, there are exceptions for options automatically configured and managed directly by AMQ Streams related to:

  • Kafka cluster bootstrap address
  • Security (encryption, authentication, and authorization)
  • Consumer group identifier
  • Interceptors

Specifically, all configuration options with keys equal to or starting with one of the following strings are forbidden:

When a forbidden option is present in the config property, it is ignored and a warning message is printed to the Cluster Operator log file. All other options are passed to Kafka MirrorMaker.

Important

The Cluster Operator does not validate keys or values in the provided config object. When an invalid configuration is provided, the Kafka MirrorMaker might not start or might become unstable. In such cases, the configuration in the KafkaMirrorMaker.spec.consumer.config object should be fixed and the Cluster Operator will roll out the new configuration for Kafka MirrorMaker.

B.116.4. groupId

Use the consumer.groupId property to configure a consumer group identifier for the consumer.

Kafka MirrorMaker uses a Kafka consumer to consume messages, behaving like any other Kafka consumer client. Messages consumed from the source Kafka cluster are mirrored to a target Kafka cluster. A group identifier is required, as the consumer needs to be part of a consumer group for the assignment of partitions.

PropertyDescription

numStreams

Specifies the number of consumer stream threads to create.

integer

offsetCommitInterval

Specifies the offset auto-commit interval in ms. Default value is 60000.

integer

groupId

A unique string that identifies the consumer group this consumer belongs to.

string

bootstrapServers

A list of host:port pairs for establishing the initial connection to the Kafka cluster.

string

authentication

Authentication configuration for connecting to the cluster. The type depends on the value of the authentication.type property within the given object, which must be one of [tls, scram-sha-512, plain, oauth].

KafkaClientAuthenticationTls, KafkaClientAuthenticationScramSha512, KafkaClientAuthenticationPlain, KafkaClientAuthenticationOAuth

config

The MirrorMaker consumer config. Properties with the following prefixes cannot be set: ssl., bootstrap.servers, group.id, sasl., security., interceptor.classes (with the exception of: ssl.endpoint.identification.algorithm, ssl.cipher.suites, ssl.protocol, ssl.enabled.protocols).

map

Trusted certificates for TLS connection.

CertSecretSource array

B.118. KafkaMirrorMakerProducerSpec schema reference

Used in: KafkaMirrorMakerSpec

Configures a MirrorMaker producer.

B.118.1. abortOnSendFailure

Use the producer.abortOnSendFailure property to configure how to handle message send failure from the producer.

By default, if an error occurs when sending a message from Kafka MirrorMaker to a Kafka cluster:

  • The Kafka MirrorMaker container is terminated in OpenShift.
  • The container is then recreated.

If the abortOnSendFailure option is set to false, message sending errors are ignored.

B.118.2. config

Use the producer.config properties to configure Kafka options for the producer.

The config property contains the Kafka MirrorMaker producer configuration options as keys, with values set in one of the following JSON types:

  • String
  • Number
  • Boolean

For client connection using a specific cipher suite for a TLS version, you can configure allowed ssl properties. You can also configure the ssl.endpoint.identification.algorithm property to enable or disable hostname verification.

Exceptions

You can specify and configure the options listed in the Apache Kafka configuration documentation for producers.

However, there are exceptions for options automatically configured and managed directly by AMQ Streams related to:

  • Kafka cluster bootstrap address
  • Security (encryption, authentication, and authorization)
  • Interceptors

Specifically, all configuration options with keys equal to or starting with one of the following strings are forbidden:

When a forbidden option is present in the config property, it is ignored and a warning message is printed to the Cluster Operator log file. All other options are passed to Kafka MirrorMaker.

Important

The Cluster Operator does not validate keys or values in the provided config object. When an invalid configuration is provided, the Kafka MirrorMaker might not start or might become unstable. In such cases, the configuration in the KafkaMirrorMaker.spec.producer.config object should be fixed and the Cluster Operator will roll out the new configuration for Kafka MirrorMaker.
