Chapter 13. Custom resource API reference


13.1. Common configuration properties

Common configuration properties apply to more than one resource.

13.1.1. 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.

13.1.2. 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, ingress, 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.

13.1.3. 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.

13.1.4. 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.

13.1.5. 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.

Example resource requests configuration

# ...
resources:
  requests:
    cpu: 12
    memory: 64Gi
# ...

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.

Example resource limits configuration

# ...
resources:
  limits:
    cpu: 12
    memory: 64Gi
# ...

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.

Example CPU units

# ...
resources:
  requests:
    cpu: 500m
  limits:
    cpu: 2.5
# ...

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.

Example resources using different memory units

# ...
resources:
  requests:
    memory: 512Mi
  limits:
    memory: 2Gi
# ...

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

13.1.6. 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-rhel8-operator:1.8.4 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-rhel8-operator:1.8.4 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-28-rhel8:1.8.4 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-28-rhel8:1.8.4 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-rhel8:1.8.4 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-rhel8-operator:1.8.4 container image.

Example of container image configuration

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: Kafka
metadata:
  name: my-cluster
spec:
  kafka:
    # ...
    image: my-org/my-image:latest
    # ...
  zookeeper:
    # ...

13.1.7. 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.

13.1.8. metricsConfig

Use the metricsConfig property to enable and configure Prometheus metrics.

The metricsConfig property contains a reference to a ConfigMap containing 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 further configuration, you can reference a ConfigMap containing an empty file under metricsConfig.valueFrom.configMapKeyRef.key. When referencing an empty file, all metrics are exposed as long as they have not been renamed.

Example ConfigMap with metrics configuration for Kafka

kind: ConfigMap
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: my-configmap
data:
  my-key: |
    lowercaseOutputName: true
    rules:
    # Special cases and very specific rules
    - pattern: kafka.server<type=(.+), name=(.+), clientId=(.+), topic=(.+), partition=(.*)><>Value
      name: kafka_server_$1_$2
      type: GAUGE
      labels:
       clientId: "$3"
       topic: "$4"
       partition: "$5"
    # further configuration

Example metrics configuration for Kafka

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: Kafka
metadata:
  name: my-cluster
spec:
  kafka:
    # ...
    metricsConfig:
      type: jmxPrometheusExporter
      valueFrom:
        configMapKeyRef:
          name: my-config-map
          key: my-key
    # ...
  zookeeper:
    # ...

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

When the metricsConfig (or deprecated 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.

13.1.9. jvmOptions

The following AMQ Streams components run inside a Java Virtual Machine (JVM):

  • Apache Kafka
  • Apache ZooKeeper
  • Apache Kafka Connect
  • Apache Kafka MirrorMaker
  • AMQ Streams Kafka Bridge

To optimize their performance on different platforms and architectures, you configure the jvmOptions property in the following resources:

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

You can specify the following options in your configuration:

-Xms
Minimum initial allocation heap size when the JVM starts.
-Xmx
Maximum heap size.
-XX
Advanced runtime options for the JVM.
javaSystemProperties
Additional system properties.
gcLoggingEnabled
Enables garbage collector logging.

The full schema of jvmOptions is described in JvmOptions schema reference.

Note

The units accepted by JVM settings, such as -Xmx and -Xms, are the same units accepted by the JDK java binary in the corresponding image. Therefore, 1g or 1G means 1,073,741,824 bytes, and Gi is not a valid unit suffix. This is different from 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

-Xms and -Xmx options

The default values used for -Xms and -Xmx depend 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 increase as needed. This is ideal for single node environments in test and development.

Before setting -Xmx explicitly consider the following:

  • 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 at a later time if not.

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

In this example, the JVM uses 2 GiB (=2,147,483,648 bytes) for its heap. Its total memory usage is approximately 8GiB.

Example -Xmx and -Xms configuration

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

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.

Important

Containers performing lots of disk I/O, such as Kafka broker containers, require available memory 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.

-XX option

-XX options are used to configure the KAFKA_JVM_PERFORMANCE_OPTS option of Apache Kafka.

Example -XX configuration

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

JVM options resulting from the -XX configuration

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

Note

When no -XX options are specified, the default Apache Kafka configuration of KAFKA_JVM_PERFORMANCE_OPTS is used.

javaSystemProperties

javaSystemProperties are used to configure additional Java system properties, such as debugging utilities.

Example javaSystemProperties configuration

jvmOptions:
  javaSystemProperties:
    - name: javax.net.debug
      value: ssl

13.1.10. 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 GC logging configuration

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

13.2.3. KafkaClusterSpec schema reference

Used in: KafkaSpec

Full list of KafkaClusterSpec schema properties

Configures a Kafka cluster.

13.2.3.1. listeners

Use the listeners property to configure listeners to provide access to Kafka brokers.

Example configuration of a plain (unencrypted) listener without authentication

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: Kafka
spec:
  kafka:
    # ...
    listeners:
      - name: plain
        port: 9092
        type: internal
        tls: false
    # ...
  zookeeper:
    # ...

13.2.3.2. config

Use the config properties to configure Kafka broker options as keys.

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

Configuration options that cannot be configured relate to:

  • Security (Encryption, Authentication, and Authorization)
  • Listener configuration
  • Broker ID configuration
  • Configuration of log data directories
  • Inter-broker communication
  • ZooKeeper connectivity

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, 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.

Example Kafka broker configuration

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: Kafka
metadata:
  name: my-cluster
spec:
  kafka:
    # ...
    config:
      num.partitions: 1
      num.recovery.threads.per.data.dir: 1
      default.replication.factor: 3
      offsets.topic.replication.factor: 3
      transaction.state.log.replication.factor: 3
      transaction.state.log.min.isr: 1
      log.retention.hours: 168
      log.segment.bytes: 1073741824
      log.retention.check.interval.ms: 300000
      num.network.threads: 3
      num.io.threads: 8
      socket.send.buffer.bytes: 102400
      socket.receive.buffer.bytes: 102400
      socket.request.max.bytes: 104857600
      group.initial.rebalance.delay.ms: 0
      ssl.cipher.suites: "TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384"
      ssl.enabled.protocols: "TLSv1.2"
      ssl.protocol: "TLSv1.2"
      zookeeper.connection.timeout.ms: 6000
    # ...

13.2.3.3. brokerRackInitImage

When rack awareness is enabled, Kafka broker pods use init container to collect the labels from the OpenShift cluster nodes. The container image used for this container can be configured using the brokerRackInitImage property. When the brokerRackInitImage field is missing, the following images are used in order of priority:

  1. Container image specified in STRIMZI_DEFAULT_KAFKA_INIT_IMAGE environment variable in the Cluster Operator configuration.
  2. registry.redhat.io/amq7/amq-streams-rhel8-operator:1.8.4 container image.

Example brokerRackInitImage configuration

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: Kafka
metadata:
  name: my-cluster
spec:
  kafka:
    # ...
    rack:
      topologyKey: topology.kubernetes.io/zone
    brokerRackInitImage: my-org/my-image:latest
    # ...

Note

Overriding container images is recommended only in special situations, where you need to use a different container registry. For example, because your network does not allow access to the container registry used by AMQ Streams. In this case, you should either copy the AMQ Streams images or build them from the source. If the configured image is not compatible with AMQ Streams images, it might not work properly.

13.2.3.4. logging

Kafka has its own configurable loggers:

  • log4j.logger.org.I0Itec.zkclient.ZkClient
  • log4j.logger.org.apache.zookeeper
  • log4j.logger.kafka
  • log4j.logger.org.apache.kafka
  • log4j.logger.kafka.request.logger
  • log4j.logger.kafka.network.Processor
  • log4j.logger.kafka.server.KafkaApis
  • log4j.logger.kafka.network.RequestChannel$
  • log4j.logger.kafka.controller
  • log4j.logger.kafka.log.LogCleaner
  • log4j.logger.state.change.logger
  • log4j.logger.kafka.authorizer.logger

Kafka 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.valueFrom.configMapKeyRef.name property to the name of the ConfigMap containing the external logging configuration. Inside the ConfigMap, the logging configuration is described using log4j.properties. Both logging.valueFrom.configMapKeyRef.name and logging.valueFrom.configMapKeyRef.key properties are mandatory. A ConfigMap using the exact logging configuration specified is created with the custom resource when the Cluster Operator is running, then recreated after each reconciliation. If you do not specify a custom ConfigMap, default logging settings are used. If a specific logger value is not set, upper-level logger settings are inherited for that logger. 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/v1beta2
kind: Kafka
spec:
  # ...
  kafka:
    # ...
    logging:
      type: inline
      loggers:
        kafka.root.logger.level: "INFO"
  # ...

External logging

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: Kafka
spec:
  # ...
  logging:
    type: external
    valueFrom:
      configMapKeyRef:
        name: customConfigMap
        key: kafka-log4j.properties
  # ...

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

If Kafka was deployed using the Cluster Operator, changes to Kafka 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.

13.2.4. GenericKafkaListener schema reference

Used in: KafkaClusterSpec

Full list of GenericKafkaListener schema properties

Configures listeners to connect to Kafka brokers within and outside OpenShift.

You configure the listeners in the Kafka resource.

Example Kafka resource showing listener configuration

          - broker: 1
            host: broker-1.myingress.com
          - broker: 2
            host: broker-2.myingress.com
    #...

13.2.4.1. 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.

13.2.4.2. 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: 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
  #...

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.

13.2.4.3. 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).

13.2.4.4. 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.

13.2.4.5. authentication

Authentication for the listener can be specified as:

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

13.2.4.6. 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.

Used in: GenericKafkaListener

The type property is a discriminator that distinguishes use of the KafkaListenerAuthenticationOAuth type from KafkaListenerAuthenticationTls, KafkaListenerAuthenticationScramSha512. It must have the value oauth for the type KafkaListenerAuthenticationOAuth.

PropertyDescription

accessTokenIsJwt

Configure whether the access token is treated as JWT. This must be set to false if the authorization server returns opaque tokens. Defaults to true.

boolean

checkAccessTokenType

Configure whether the access token type check is performed or not. This should be set to false if the authorization server does not include 'typ' claim in JWT token. Defaults to true.

boolean

checkAudience

Enable or disable audience checking. Audience checks identify the recipients of tokens. If audience checking is enabled, the OAuth Client ID also has to be configured using the clientId property. The Kafka broker will reject tokens that do not have its clientId in their aud (audience) claim.Default value is false.

boolean

checkIssuer

Enable or disable issuer checking. By default issuer is checked using the value configured by validIssuerUri. Default value is true.

boolean

clientAudience

The audience to use when making requests to the authorization server’s token endpoint. Used for inter-broker authentication and for configuring OAuth 2.0 over PLAIN using the clientId and secret method.

string

clientId

OAuth Client ID which the Kafka broker can use to authenticate against the authorization server and use the introspect endpoint URI.

string

clientScope

The scope to use when making requests to the authorization server’s token endpoint. Used for inter-broker authentication and for configuring OAuth 2.0 over PLAIN using the clientId and secret method.

string

clientSecret

Link to OpenShift Secret containing the OAuth client secret which the Kafka broker can use to authenticate against the authorization server and use the introspect endpoint URI.

GenericSecretSource

customClaimCheck

JsonPath filter query to be applied to the JWT token or to the response of the introspection endpoint for additional token validation. Not set by default.

string

disableTlsHostnameVerification

Enable or disable TLS hostname verification. Default value is false.

boolean

The enableECDSA property has been deprecated. Enable or disable ECDSA support by installing BouncyCastle crypto provider. ECDSA support is always enabled. The BouncyCastle libraries are no longer packaged with AMQ Streams. Value is ignored.

boolean

enableOauthBearer

Enable or disable OAuth authentication over SASL_OAUTHBEARER. Default value is true.

boolean

enablePlain

Enable or disable OAuth authentication over SASL_PLAIN. There is no re-authentication support when this mechanism is used. 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.

integer

jwksRefreshSeconds

Configures how often are the JWKS certificates refreshed. The refresh interval has to be at least 60 seconds shorter then the expiry interval specified in jwksExpirySeconds. Defaults to 300 seconds.

integer

maxSecondsWithoutReauthentication

Maximum number of seconds the authenticated session remains valid without re-authentication. This enables Apache Kafka re-authentication feature, and causes sessions to expire when the access token expires. If the access token expires before max time or if max time is reached, the client has to re-authenticate, otherwise the server will drop the connection. Not set by default - the authenticated session does not expire when the access token expires. This option only applies to SASL_OAUTHBEARER authentication mechanism (when enableOauthBearer is true).

integer

tlsTrustedCertificates

Trusted certificates for TLS connection to the OAuth server.

CertSecretSource array

tokenEndpointUri

URI of the Token Endpoint to use with SASL_PLAIN mechanism when the client authenticates with clientId and a secret. If set, the client can authenticate over SASL_PLAIN by either setting username to clientId, and setting password to client secret, or by setting username to account username, and password to access token prefixed with $accessToken:. If this option is not set, the password is always interpreted as an access token (without a prefix), and username as the account username (a so called 'no-client-credentials' mode).

string

type

Must be oauth.

string

userInfoEndpointUri

URI of the User Info Endpoint to use as a fallback to obtaining the user id when the Introspection Endpoint does not return information that can be used for the user id.

string

13.2.10. GenericKafkaListenerConfiguration schema reference

Used in: GenericKafkaListener

Full list of GenericKafkaListenerConfiguration schema properties

Configuration for Kafka listeners.

13.2.10.1. 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
# ...

13.2.10.2. 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.

13.2.10.3. 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
      # ...
# ...

13.2.10.4. class

The class property is only used with ingress listeners. You can configure 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: true
    configuration:
      class: nginx-internal
    # ...
# ...

13.2.10.5. 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
      # ...
# ...

13.2.10.6. 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.

13.2.10.7. GenericKafkaListenerConfiguration schema properties

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

ipFamilyPolicy

Specifies the IP Family Policy used by the service. Available options are SingleStack, PreferDualStack and RequireDualStack. SingleStack is for a single IP family. PreferDualStack is for two IP families on dual-stack configured clusters or a single IP family on single-stack clusters. RequireDualStack fails unless there are two IP families on dual-stack configured clusters. If unspecified, OpenShift will choose the default value based on the service type. Available on OpenShift 1.20 and newer.

string (one of [RequireDualStack, SingleStack, PreferDualStack])

ipFamilies

Specifies the IP Families used by the service. Available options are IPv4 and IPv6. If unspecified, OpenShift will choose the default value based on the `ipFamilyPolicy setting. Available on OpenShift 1.20 and newer.

string (one or more of [IPv6, IPv4]) array

class

Configures the Ingress class that defines which Ingress controller will be used. This field can be used only with ingress type listener. If not specified, the default Ingress controller will be used.

string

finalizers

A list of finalizers which will be configured for the LoadBalancer type Services created for this listener. If supported by the platform, the finalizer service.kubernetes.io/load-balancer-cleanup to make sure that the external load balancer is deleted together with the service.For more information, see https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/create-external-load-balancer/#garbage-collecting-load-balancers. This field can be used only with loadbalancer type listeners.

string array

maxConnectionCreationRate

The maximum connection creation rate we allow in this listener at any time. New connections will be throttled if the limit is reached.Supported only on Kafka 2.7.0 and newer.

integer

maxConnections

The maximum number of connections we allow for this listener in the broker at any time. New connections are blocked if the limit is reached.

integer

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 is used to select the preferred address type, which is checked first. If no address is found for this address type, the other types are checked in the default order. This field can only be used 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 will 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

13.2.11. CertAndKeySecretSource schema reference

Used in: GenericKafkaListenerConfiguration, KafkaClientAuthenticationTls

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

13.2.12. GenericKafkaListenerConfigurationBootstrap schema reference

Used in: GenericKafkaListenerConfiguration

Full list of GenericKafkaListenerConfigurationBootstrap schema properties

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

13.2.12.1. 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 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
# ...

13.2.12.2. 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

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
# ...

13.2.12.3. 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
# ...

13.2.12.4. 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
# ...

13.2.12.5. annotations

Use the annotations property to add annotations to OpenShift resources related to the listeners. You can use these annotations, for example, 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.

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

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 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 listeners.

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

listeners:
  #...
  - name: external
    port: 9094

13.2.21. KafkaAuthorizationCustom schema reference

Used in: KafkaClusterSpec

Full list of KafkaAuthorizationCustom schema properties

To use custom authorization in AMQ Streams, you can configure your own Authorizer plugin to define Access Control Lists (ACLs).

ACLs allow you to define which users have access to which resources at a granular level.

Configure the Kafka custom resource to use custom authorization. Set the type property in the authorization section to the value custom, and the set following properties.

Important

The custom authorizer must implement the org.apache.kafka.server.authorizer.Authorizer interface, and support configuration of super.users using the super.users configuration property.

13.2.21.1. authorizerClass

(Required) Java class that implements the org.apache.kafka.server.authorizer.Authorizer interface to support custom ACLs.

13.2.21.2. superUsers

A list of user principals treated as super users, so that they are always allowed without querying ACL rules. For more information see Kafka authorization.

You can add configuration for initializing the custom authorizer using Kafka.spec.kafka.config.

An example of custom authorization configuration under Kafka.spec

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: Kafka
metadata:
  name: my-cluster
  namespace: myproject
spec:
  kafka:
    # ...
    authorization:
      type: custom
      authorizerClass: io.mycompany.CustomAuthorizer
      superUsers:
        - CN=client_1
        - user_2
        - CN=client_3
    # ...
    config:
      authorization.custom.property1=value1
      authorization.custom.property2=value2
    # ...

In addition to the Kafka custom resource configuration, the JAR file containing the custom authorizer class along with its dependencies must be available on the classpath of the Kafka broker.

The AMQ Streams Maven build process provides a mechanism to add custom third-party libraries to the generated Kafka broker container image by adding them as dependencies in the pom.xml file under the docker-images/kafka/kafka-thirdparty-libs directory. The directory contains different folders for different Kafka versions. Choose the appropriate folder. Before modifying the pom.xml file, the third-party library must be available in a Maven repository, and that Maven repository must be accessible to the AMQ Streams build process.

Note

The super.user configuration option in the config property in Kafka.spec.kafka is ignored. Designate super users in the authorization property instead. For more information, see Kafka broker configuration.

13.2.21.3. KafkaAuthorizationCustom schema properties

string

superUsers

List of super users, which are user principals with unlimited access rights.

string array

13.2.22. Rack schema reference

Used in: KafkaClusterSpec, KafkaConnectS2ISpec, KafkaConnectSpec

Full list of Rack schema properties

The rack option configures rack awareness. A rack can represent an availability zone, data center, or an actual rack in your data center. The rack is configured through a topologyKey. topologyKey identifies a label on OpenShift nodes that contains the name of the topology in its value. An example of such a label is topology.kubernetes.io/zone (or failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone on older OpenShift versions), which contains the name of the availability zone in which the OpenShift node runs. You can configure your Kafka cluster to be aware of the rack in which it runs, and enable additional features such as spreading partition replicas across different racks or consuming messages from the closest replicas.

For more information about OpenShift node labels, see Well-Known Labels, Annotations and Taints. Consult your OpenShift administrator regarding the node label that represents the zone or rack into which the node is deployed.

13.2.22.1. Spreading partition replicas across racks

When rack awareness is configured, AMQ Streams will set broker.rack configuration for each Kafka broker. The broker.rack configuration assigns a rack ID to each broker. When broker.rack is configured, Kafka brokers will spread partition replicas across as many different racks as possible. When replicas are spread across multiple racks, the probability that multiple replicas will fail at the same time is lower than if they would be in the same rack. Spreading replicas improves resiliency, and is important for availability and reliability. To enable rack awareness in Kafka, add the rack option to the .spec.kafka section of the Kafka custom resource as shown in the example below.

Example rack configuration for Kafka

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: Kafka
metadata:
  name: my-cluster
spec:
  kafka:
    # ...
    rack:
      topologyKey: topology.kubernetes.io/zone
    # ...

Note

The rack in which brokers are running can change in some cases when the pods are deleted or restarted. As a result, the replicas running in different racks might then share the same rack. Use Cruise Control and the KafkaRebalance resource with the RackAwareGoal to make sure that replicas remain distributed across different racks.

When rack awareness is enabled in the Kafka custom resource, AMQ Streams will automatically add the OpenShift preferredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution affinity rule to distribute the Kafka brokers across the different racks. However, the preferred rule does not guarantee that the brokers will be spread. Depending on your exact OpenShift and Kafka configurations, you should add additional affinity rules or configure topologySpreadConstraints for both ZooKeeper and Kafka to make sure the nodes are properly distributed accross as many racks as possible. For more information see Section 2.7, “Configuring pod scheduling”.

13.2.22.2. Consuming messages from the closest replicas

Rack awareness can also be used in consumers to fetch data from the closest replica. This is useful for reducing the load on your network when a Kafka cluster spans multiple datacenters and can also reduce costs when running Kafka in public clouds. However, it can lead to increased latency.

In order to be able to consume from the closest replica, rack awareness has to be configured in the Kafka cluster, and the RackAwareReplicaSelector has to be enabled. The replica selector plugin provides the logic that enables clients to consume from the nearest replica. The default implementation uses LeaderSelector to always select the leader replica for the client. Specify RackAwareReplicaSelector for the replica.selector.class to switch from the default implementation.

Example rack configuration with enabled replica-aware selector

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: Kafka
metadata:
  name: my-cluster
spec:
  kafka:
    # ...
    rack:
      topologyKey: topology.kubernetes.io/zone
    config:
      # ...
      replica.selector.class: org.apache.kafka.common.replica.RackAwareReplicaSelector
    # ...

In addition to the Kafka broker configuration, you also need to specify the client.rack option in your consumers. The client.rack option should specify the rack ID in which the consumer is running. RackAwareReplicaSelector associates matching broker.rack and client.rack IDs, to find the nearest replica and consume from it. If there are multiple replicas in the same rack, RackAwareReplicaSelector always selects the most up-to-date replica. If the rack ID is not specified, or if it cannot find a replica with the same rack ID, it will fall back to the leader replica.

Figure 13.1. Example showing client consuming from replicas in the same availability zone

consuming from replicas in the same availability zone

Consuming messages from the closest replicas can be used also in Kafka Connect for sink connectors which are consuming messages. When deploying Kafka Connect using AMQ Streams, you can use the rack section in the KafkaConnect or KafkaConnectS2I custom resources to automatically configure the client.rack option.

Example rack configuration for Kafka Connect

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: KafkaConnect
# ...
spec:
  kafka:
    # ...
    rack:
      topologyKey: topology.kubernetes.io/zone
    # ...

Enabling rack awareness in the KafkaConnect or KafkaConnectS2I custom resource will not set any affinity rules, but you can also configure affinity or topologySpreadConstraints. For more information see Section 2.7, “Configuring pod scheduling”.

13.2.26. KafkaJmxOptions schema reference

Used in: KafkaClusterSpec, KafkaConnectS2ISpec, KafkaConnectSpec, KafkaMirrorMaker2Spec

Full list of KafkaJmxOptions schema properties

Configures JMX connection options.

JMX metrics are obtained from Kafka brokers, Kafka Connect, and MirrorMaker 2.0 by opening a JMX port on 9999. Use the jmxOptions property to configure a password-protected or an unprotected JMX port. Using password protection prevents unauthorized pods from accessing the port.

You can then obtain metrics about the component.

For example, for each Kafka broker you can obtain bytes-per-second usage data from clients, or the request rate of the network of the broker.

To enable security for the JMX port, set the type parameter in the authentication field to password.

Example password-protected JMX configuration

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: Kafka
metadata:
  name: my-cluster
spec:
  kafka:
    # ...
    jmxOptions:
      authentication:
        type: "password"
    # ...
  zookeeper:
    # ...

You can then deploy a pod into a cluster and obtain JMX metrics using the headless service by specifying which broker you want to address.

For example, to get JMX metrics from broker 0 you specify:

"CLUSTER-NAME-kafka-0.CLUSTER-NAME-kafka-brokers"

CLUSTER-NAME-kafka-0 is name of the broker pod, and CLUSTER-NAME-kafka-brokers is the name of the headless service to return the IPs of the broker pods.

If the JMX port is secured, you can get the username and password by referencing them from the JMX Secret in the deployment of your pod.

For an unprotected JMX port, use an empty object {} to open the JMX port on the headless service. You deploy a pod and obtain metrics in the same way as for the protected port, but in this case any pod can read from the JMX port.

Example open port JMX configuration

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: Kafka
metadata:
  name: my-cluster
spec:
  kafka:
    # ...
    jmxOptions: {}

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

Full list of PodDisruptionBudgetTemplate schema properties

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

13.2.40. ContainerTemplate schema reference

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

Full list of ContainerTemplate schema properties

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.

13.2.40.1. ContainerTemplate schema properties

13.2.42. ZookeeperClusterSpec schema reference

Used in: KafkaSpec

Full list of ZookeeperClusterSpec schema properties

Configures a ZooKeeper cluster.

13.2.42.1. config

Use the config properties to configure ZooKeeper options as keys.

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

Configuration options that cannot be configured relate to:

  • Security (Encryption, Authentication, and Authorization)
  • Listener configuration
  • Configuration of data directories
  • ZooKeeper cluster composition

The values can be one of the following JSON types:

  • String
  • Number
  • Boolean

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

  • server.
  • dataDir
  • dataLogDir
  • clientPort
  • authProvider
  • quorum.auth
  • requireClientAuthScheme

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 ZooKeeper.

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.

Example ZooKeeper configuration

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: Kafka
spec:
  kafka:
    # ...
  zookeeper:
    # ...
    config:
      autopurge.snapRetainCount: 3
      autopurge.purgeInterval: 1
      ssl.cipher.suites: "TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384"
      ssl.enabled.protocols: "TLSv1.2"
      ssl.protocol: "TLSv1.2"
    # ...

13.2.42.2. logging

ZooKeeper has a configurable logger:

  • zookeeper.root.logger

ZooKeeper 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.valueFrom.configMapKeyRef.name property to the name of the ConfigMap containing the external logging configuration. Inside the ConfigMap, the logging configuration is described using log4j.properties. Both logging.valueFrom.configMapKeyRef.name and logging.valueFrom.configMapKeyRef.key properties are mandatory. A ConfigMap using the exact logging configuration specified is created with the custom resource when the Cluster Operator is running, then recreated after each reconciliation. If you do not specify a custom ConfigMap, default logging settings are used. If a specific logger value is not set, upper-level logger settings are inherited for that logger. For more information about log levels, see Apache logging services.

Here we see examples of inline and external logging.

13.2.60. KafkaConnectSpec schema reference

Used in: KafkaConnect

Full list of KafkaConnectSpec schema properties

Configures a Kafka Connect cluster.

13.2.60.1. 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/v1beta2
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.

13.2.60.2. 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.valueFrom.configMapKeyRef.name property to the name of the ConfigMap containing the external logging configuration. Inside the ConfigMap, the logging configuration is described using log4j.properties. Both logging.valueFrom.configMapKeyRef.name and logging.valueFrom.configMapKeyRef.key properties are mandatory. A ConfigMap using the exact logging configuration specified is created with the custom resource when the Cluster Operator is running, then recreated after each reconciliation. If you do not specify a custom ConfigMap, default logging settings are used. If a specific logger value is not set, upper-level logger settings are inherited for that logger. 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/v1beta2
kind: KafkaConnect
spec:
  # ...
  logging:
    type: inline
    loggers:
      connect.root.logger.level: "INFO"
  # ...

External logging

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: KafkaConnect
spec:
  # ...
  logging:
    type: external
    valueFrom:
      configMapKeyRef:
        name: customConfigMap
        key: connect-logging.log4j
  # ...

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.

Full list of KafkaClientAuthenticationTls schema properties

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

13.2.62.1. 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

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

Full list of KafkaClientAuthenticationOAuth schema properties

To configure OAuth client authentication, set the type property to 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

Optionally, scope and audience can be specified if needed.

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 resource. 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

13.2.66.1. KafkaClientAuthenticationOAuth schema properties

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

PropertyDescription

13.2.70. ExternalConfiguration schema reference

Used in: KafkaConnectS2ISpec, KafkaConnectSpec, KafkaMirrorMaker2Spec

Full list of ExternalConfiguration schema properties

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.

13.2.70.1. env

Use the env property 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/v1beta2
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 is for a connector to communicate with Amazon AWS. The connector needs to be able to read the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.

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/v1beta2
kind: KafkaConnect
metadata:
  name: my-connect
spec:
  # ...
  externalConfiguration:
    env:
      - name: MY_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE
        valueFrom:
          configMapKeyRef:
            name: my-config-map
            key: my-key

13.2.70.2. volumes

Use volumes to mount ConfigMaps or Secrets to a Kafka Connect pod.

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

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

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

Configuration providers load values from outside the configuration. Use a provider mechanism to avoid passing restricted information over the Kafka Connect REST interface.

  • FileConfigProvider loads configuration values from properties in a file.
  • DirectoryConfigProvider loads configuration values from separate files within a directory structure.

Use a comma-separated list if you want to add more than one provider, including custom providers. You can use custom providers to load values from other file locations.

Using FileConfigProvider to load property values

In this example, a Secret named mysecret contains connector properties that specify a database name and password:

Example Secret with database properties

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

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

The Secret and the FileConfigProvider configuration provider are specified in the Kafka Connect configuration.

  • The Secret is mounted to a volume named connector-config.
  • FileConfigProvider is given the alias file.

Example external volumes set to values from a Secret

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
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 is used to define other configuration parameters.
2
FileConfigProvider 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 a ConfigMap or Secret.
4
The name of the Secret.

Placeholders for the property values in the Secret are referenced in the connector configuration. The placeholder structure is file:PATH-AND-FILE-NAME:PROPERTY. FileConfigProvider reads and extracts the database username and password property values from the mounted Secret in connector configurations.

Example connector configuration showing placeholders for external values

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: KafkaConnector
metadata:
  name: my-source-connector
  labels:
    strimzi.io/cluster: my-connect-cluster
spec:
  class: io.debezium.connector.mysql.MySqlConnector
  tasksMax: 2
  config:
    database.hostname: 192.168.99.1
    database.port: "3306"
    database.user: "${file:/opt/kafka/external-configuration/connector-config/mysecret:dbUsername}"
    database.password: "${file:/opt/kafka/external-configuration/connector-config/mysecret:dbPassword}"
    database.server.id: "184054"
    #...

Using DirectoryConfigProvider to load property values from separate files

In this example, a Secret contains TLS truststore and keystore user credentials in separate files.

Example Secret with user credentials

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: mysecret
  labels:
    strimzi.io/kind: KafkaUser
    strimzi.io/cluster: my-cluster
type: Opaque
data: 1
  ca.crt: # Public key of the client CA
  user.crt: # User certificate that contains the public key of the user
  user.key: # Private key of the user
  user.p12: # PKCS #12 archive file for storing certificates and keys
  user.password: # Password for protecting the PKCS #12 archive file

The Secret and the DirectoryConfigProvider configuration provider are specified in the Kafka Connect configuration.

  • The Secret is mounted to a volume named connector-config.
  • DirectoryConfigProvider is given the alias directory.

Example external volumes set for user credentials files

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: KafkaConnect
metadata:
  name: my-connect
spec:
  # ...
  config:
    config.providers: directory
    config.providers.directory.class: org.apache.kafka.common.config.provider.DirectoryConfigProvider 1
  #...
  externalConfiguration:
    volumes:
      - name: connector-config
        secret:
          secretName: mysecret

1 1
The DirectoryConfigProvider provides values from files in a directory. The parameter uses the alias from config.providers, taking the form config.providers.${alias}.class.

Placeholders for the credentials are referenced in the connector configuration. The placeholder structure is directory:PATH:FILE-NAME. DirectoryConfigProvider reads and extracts the credentials from the mounted Secret in connector configurations.

Example connector configuration showing placeholders for external values

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: KafkaConnector
metadata:
  name: my-source-connector
  labels:
    strimzi.io/cluster: my-connect-cluster
spec:
  class: io.debezium.connector.mysql.MySqlConnector
  tasksMax: 2
  config:
    security.protocol: SSL
    ssl.truststore.type: PEM
    ssl.truststore.location: "${directory:/opt/kafka/external-configuration/connector-config:ca.crt}"
    ssl.keystore.type: PEM
    ssl.keystore.location: ${directory:/opt/kafka/external-configuration/connector-config:user.key}"

13.2.74. Build schema reference

Used in: KafkaConnectS2ISpec, KafkaConnectSpec

Full list of Build schema properties

Configures additional connectors for Kafka Connect deployments.

13.2.74.1. output

To build new container images with additional connector plugins, AMQ Streams requires a container registry where the images can be pushed to, stored, and pulled from. AMQ Streams does not run its own container registry, so a registry must be provided. AMQ Streams supports private container registries as well as public registries such as Quay or Docker Hub. The container registry is configured in the .spec.build.output section of the KafkaConnect custom resource. The output configuration, which is required, supports two types: docker and imagestream.

Using Docker registry

To use a Docker registry, you have to specify the type as docker, and the image field with the full name of the new container image. The full name must include:

  • The address of the registry
  • Port number (if listening on a non-standard port)
  • The tag of the new container image

Example valid container image names:

  • docker.io/my-org/my-image/my-tag
  • quay.io/my-org/my-image/my-tag
  • image-registry.image-registry.svc:5000/myproject/kafka-connect-build:latest

Each Kafka Connect deployment must use a separate image, which can mean different tags at the most basic level.

If the registry requires authentication, use the pushSecret to set a name of the Secret with the registry credentials. For the Secret, use the kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson type and a .dockerconfigjson file to contain the Docker credentials. For more information on pulling an image from a private registry, see Create a Secret based on existing Docker credentials.

Example output configuration

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: KafkaConnect
metadata:
  name: my-connect-cluster
spec:
  #...
  build:
    output:
      type: docker 1
      image: my-registry.io/my-org/my-connect-cluster:latest 2
      pushSecret: my-registry-credentials 3
  #...

1
(Required) Type of output used by AMQ Streams.
2
(Required) Full name of the image used, including the repository and tag.
3
(Optional) Name of the secret with the container registry credentials.

Using OpenShift ImageStream

Instead of Docker, you can use OpenShift ImageStream to store a new container image. The ImageStream has to be created manually before deploying Kafka Connect. To use ImageStream, set the type to imagestream, and use the image property to specify the name of the ImageStream and the tag used. For example, my-connect-image-stream:latest.

Example output configuration

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: KafkaConnect
metadata:
  name: my-connect-cluster
spec:
  #...
  build:
    output:
      type: imagestream 1
      image: my-connect-build:latest 2
  #...

1
(Required) Type of output used by AMQ Streams.
2
(Required) Name of the ImageStream and tag.

13.2.74.2. plugins

Connector plugins are a set of files that define the implementation required to connect to certain types of external system. The connector plugins required for a container image must be configured using the .spec.build.plugins property of the KafkaConnect custom resource. Each connector plugin must have a name which is unique within the Kafka Connect deployment. Additionally, the plugin artifacts must be listed. These artifacts are downloaded by AMQ Streams, added to the new container image, and used in the Kafka Connect deployment. The connector plugin artifacts can also include additional components, such as (de)serializers. Each connector plugin is downloaded into a separate directory so that the different connectors and their dependencies are properly sandboxed. Each plugin must be configured with at least one artifact.

Example plugins configuration with two connector plugins

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: KafkaConnect
metadata:
  name: my-connect-cluster
spec:
  #...
  build:
    output:
      #...

  #...

1
(Required) List of connector plugins and their artifacts.

AMQ Streams supports the following types of artifacts: * JAR files, which are downloaded and used directly * TGZ archives, which are downloaded and unpacked * Other artifacts, which are downloaded and used directly

Important

AMQ Streams does not perform any security scanning of the downloaded artifacts. For security reasons, you should first verify the artifacts manually, and configure the checksum verification to make sure the same artifact is used in the automated build and in the Kafka Connect deployment.

Using JAR artifacts

JAR artifacts represent a JAR file that is downloaded and added to a container image. To use a JAR artifacts, set the type property to jar, and specify the download location using the url property.

Additionally, you can specify a SHA-512 checksum of the artifact. If specified, AMQ Streams will verify the checksum of the artifact while building the new container image.

Example JAR artifact

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: KafkaConnect
metadata:
  name: my-connect-cluster
spec:
  #...
  build:
    output:

            sha512sum: 589...ab4 3
          - type: jar
            url: https://my-domain.tld/my-jar2.jar
  #...

1
(Required) Type of artifact.
2
(Required) URL from which the artifact is downloaded.
3
(Optional) SHA-512 checksum to verify the artifact.

Using TGZ artifacts

TGZ artifacts are used to download TAR archives that have been compressed using Gzip compression. The TGZ artifact can contain the whole Kafka Connect connector, even when comprising multiple different files. The TGZ artifact is automatically downloaded and unpacked by AMQ Streams while building the new container image. To use TGZ artifacts, set the type property to tgz, and specify the download location using the url property.

Additionally, you can specify a SHA-512 checksum of the artifact. If specified, AMQ Streams will verify the checksum before unpacking it and building the new container image.

Example TGZ artifact

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: KafkaConnect
metadata:
  name: my-connect-cluster
spec:
  #...
  build:
    output:
      #...
    plugins:

            url: https://my-domain.tld/my-connector-archive.jar 2
            sha512sum: 158...jg10 3
  #...

1
(Required) Type of artifact.
2
(Required) URL from which the archive is downloaded.
3
(Optional) SHA-512 checksum to verify the artifact.

Using other artifacts

other artifacts represent any kind of file that is downloaded and added to a container image. If you want to use a specific name for the artifact in the resulting container image, use the fileName field. If a file name is not specified, the file is named based on the URL hash.

Additionally, you can specify a SHA-512 checksum of the artifact. If specified, AMQ Streams will verify the checksum of the artifact while building the new container image.

Example other artifact

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: KafkaConnect
metadata:

13.2.100. KafkaUserQuotas schema reference

Used in: KafkaUserSpec

Full list of KafkaUserQuotas schema properties

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

13.2.100.1. quotas

You can configure your clients to use the following types of quotas:

  • Network usage quotas specify the byte rate threshold for each group of clients sharing a quota.
  • CPU utilization quotas specify a window for broker requests from clients. The window is the percentage of time for clients to make requests. A client makes requests on the I/O threads and network threads of the broker.
  • Partition mutation quotas limit the number of partition mutations which clients are allowed to make per second.

A partition mutation quota prevents Kafka clusters from being overwhelmed by concurrent topic operations. Partition mutations occur in response to the following types of user requests:

  • Creating partitions for a new topic
  • Adding partitions to an existing topic
  • Deleting partitions from a topic

You can configure a partition mutation quota to control the rate at which mutations are accepted for user requests.

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.

Example Kafka user quota configuration

spec:
  quotas:
    producerByteRate: 1048576
    consumerByteRate: 2097152
    requestPercentage: 55
    controllerMutationRate: 10

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

13.2.100.2. KafkaUserQuotas schema properties

number

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

13.2.104. KafkaMirrorMakerSpec schema reference

Used in: KafkaMirrorMaker

Full list of KafkaMirrorMakerSpec schema properties

Configures Kafka MirrorMaker.

13.2.104.1. include

Use the include 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.

13.2.104.2. 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.

13.2.104.3. 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.valueFrom.configMapKeyRef.name property to the name of the ConfigMap containing the external logging configuration. Inside the ConfigMap, the logging configuration is described using log4j.properties. Both logging.valueFrom.configMapKeyRef.name and logging.valueFrom.configMapKeyRef.key properties are mandatory. A ConfigMap using the exact logging configuration specified is created with the custom resource when the Cluster Operator is running, then recreated after each reconciliation. If you do not specify a custom ConfigMap, default logging settings are used. If a specific logger value is not set, upper-level logger settings are inherited for that logger. For more information about log levels, see Apache logging services.

Here we see examples of inline and external logging:

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: KafkaMirrorMaker
spec:
  # ...
  logging:
    type: inline
    loggers:
      mirrormaker.root.logger: "INFO"
  # ...
apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: KafkaMirrorMaker
spec:
  # ...
  logging:
    type: external
    valueFrom:
      configMapKeyRef:
        name: customConfigMap
        key: mirror-maker-log4j.properties
  # ...

13.2.105. KafkaMirrorMakerConsumerSpec schema reference

Used in: KafkaMirrorMakerSpec

Full list of KafkaMirrorMakerConsumerSpec schema properties

Configures a MirrorMaker consumer.

13.2.105.1. 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.

13.2.105.2. 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.

13.2.105.3. 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.

13.2.105.4. 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.

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.

13.2.107.2. 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.

13.2.111. KafkaBridgeSpec schema reference

Used in: KafkaBridge

Full list of KafkaBridgeSpec schema properties

Configures a Kafka Bridge cluster.

Configuration options relate to:

  • Kafka cluster bootstrap address
  • Security (Encryption, Authentication, and Authorization)
  • Consumer configuration
  • Producer configuration
  • HTTP configuration

13.2.111.1. logging

Kafka Bridge has its own configurable loggers:

  • logger.bridge
  • logger.<operation-id>

You can replace <operation-id> in the logger.<operation-id> logger to set log levels for specific operations:

  • createConsumer
  • deleteConsumer
  • subscribe
  • unsubscribe
  • poll
  • assign
  • commit
  • send
  • sendToPartition
  • seekToBeginning
  • seekToEnd
  • seek
  • healthy
  • ready
  • openapi

Each operation is defined according OpenAPI specification, and has a corresponding API endpoint through which the bridge receives requests from HTTP clients. You can change the log level on each endpoint to create fine-grained logging information about the incoming and outgoing HTTP requests.

Each logger has to be configured assigning it a name as http.openapi.operation.<operation-id>. For example, configuring the logging level for the send operation logger means defining the following:

logger.send.name = http.openapi.operation.send
logger.send.level = DEBUG

Kafka Bridge uses the Apache log4j2 logger implementation. Loggers are defined in the log4j2.properties file, which has the following default configuration for healthy and ready endpoints:

logger.healthy.name = http.openapi.operation.healthy
logger.healthy.level = WARN
logger.ready.name = http.openapi.operation.ready
logger.ready.level = WARN

The log level of all other operations is set to INFO by default.

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.valueFrom.configMapKeyRef.name property to the name of the ConfigMap containing the external logging configuration. The logging.valueFrom.configMapKeyRef.name and logging.valueFrom.configMapKeyRef.key properties are mandatory. Default logging is used if the name or key is not set. 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/v1beta2
kind: KafkaBridge
spec:
  # ...
  logging:
    type: inline
    loggers:
      logger.bridge.level: "INFO"
      # enabling DEBUG just for send operation
      logger.send.name: "http.openapi.operation.send"
      logger.send.level: "DEBUG"
  # ...

External logging

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: KafkaBridge
spec:
  # ...
  logging:
    type: external
    valueFrom:
      configMapKeyRef:
        name: customConfigMap
        key: bridge-logj42.properties
  # ...

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

If the Kafka Bridge was deployed using the Cluster Operator, changes to Kafka Bridge 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.

13.2.113. KafkaBridgeHttpConfig schema reference

Used in: KafkaBridgeSpec

Full list of KafkaBridgeHttpConfig schema properties

Configures HTTP access to a Kafka cluster for the Kafka Bridge.

The default HTTP configuration is for the Kafka Bridge to listen on port 8080.

13.2.113.1. cors

As well as enabling HTTP access to a Kafka cluster, HTTP properties provide the capability to enable and define access control for the Kafka Bridge through Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS). CORS is a HTTP mechanism that allows browser access to selected resources from more than one origin. To configure CORS, you define a list of allowed resource origins and HTTP access methods. For the origins, you can use a URL or a Java regular expression.

Example Kafka Bridge HTTP configuration

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: KafkaBridge
metadata:
  name: my-bridge
spec:
  # ...
  http:
    port: 8080
    cors:
      allowedOrigins: "https://strimzi.io"
      allowedMethods: "GET,POST,PUT,DELETE,OPTIONS,PATCH"

13.2.116. KafkaBridgeConsumerSpec schema reference

Used in: KafkaBridgeSpec

Full list of KafkaBridgeConsumerSpec schema properties

Configures consumer options for the Kafka Bridge as keys.

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 configuration documentation for consumers with the exception of those options which are managed directly by AMQ Streams. Specifically, all configuration options with keys equal to or starting with one of the following strings are forbidden:

  • ssl.
  • sasl.
  • security.
  • bootstrap.servers
  • group.id

When one of the forbidden options is present in the config property, it is ignored and a warning message will be printed to the Cluster Operator log file. All other options will be passed to Kafka

Important

The Cluster Operator does not validate keys or values in the config object. If an invalid configuration is provided, the Kafka Bridge cluster might not start or might become unstable. Fix the configuration so that the Cluster Operator can roll out the new configuration to all Kafka Bridge nodes.

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.

Example Kafka Bridge consumer configuration

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: KafkaBridge
metadata:
  name: my-bridge
spec:
  # ...
  consumer:
    config:
      auto.offset.reset: earliest
