Kafka Connect Configs
Below is the configuration of the Kafka Connect framework.
config.storage.topic
The name of the Kafka topic where connector configurations are stored
Type: string Default: Valid Values: Importance: high group.id
A unique string that identifies the Connect cluster group this worker belongs to.
Type: string Default: Valid Values: Importance: high key.converter
Converter class used to convert between Kafka Connect format and the serialized form that is written to Kafka. This controls the format of the keys in messages written to or read from Kafka, and since this is independent of connectors it allows any connector to work with any serialization format. Examples of common formats include JSON and Avro.
Type: class Default: Valid Values: Importance: high offset.storage.topic
The name of the Kafka topic where source connector offsets are stored
Type: string Default: Valid Values: Importance: high status.storage.topic
The name of the Kafka topic where connector and task status are stored
Type: string Default: Valid Values: Importance: high value.converter
Converter class used to convert between Kafka Connect format and the serialized form that is written to Kafka. This controls the format of the values in messages written to or read from Kafka, and since this is independent of connectors it allows any connector to work with any serialization format. Examples of common formats include JSON and Avro.
Type: class Default: Valid Values: Importance: high bootstrap.servers
A list of host/port pairs to use for establishing the initial connection to the Kafka cluster. The client will make use of all servers irrespective of which servers are specified here for bootstrapping—this list only impacts the initial hosts used to discover the full set of servers. This list should be in the form
host1:port1,host2:port2,.... Since these servers are just used for the initial connection to discover the full cluster membership (which may change dynamically), this list need not contain the full set of servers (you may want more than one, though, in case a server is down).Type: list Default: localhost:9092 Valid Values: Importance: high exactly.once.source.support
Whether to enable exactly-once support for source connectors in the cluster by using transactions to write source records and their source offsets, and by proactively fencing out old task generations before bringing up new ones.
To enable exactly-once source support on a new cluster, set this property to 'enabled'. To enable support on an existing cluster, first set to 'preparing' on every worker in the cluster, then set to 'enabled'. A rolling upgrade may be used for both changes. For more information on this feature, see the exactly-once source support documentation.Type: string Default: disabled Valid Values: (case insensitive) [DISABLED, ENABLED, PREPARING] Importance: high heartbeat.interval.ms
The expected time between heartbeats to the group coordinator when using Kafka's group management facilities. Heartbeats are used to ensure that the worker's session stays active and to facilitate rebalancing when new members join or leave the group. The value must be set lower than
session.timeout.ms, but typically should be set no higher than 1/3 of that value. It can be adjusted even lower to control the expected time for normal rebalances.Type: int Default: 3000 (3 seconds) Valid Values: Importance: high rebalance.timeout.ms
The maximum allowed time for each worker to join the group once a rebalance has begun. This is basically a limit on the amount of time needed for all tasks to flush any pending data and commit offsets. If the timeout is exceeded, then the worker will be removed from the group, which will cause offset commit failures.
Type: int Default: 60000 (1 minute) Valid Values: Importance: high session.timeout.ms
The timeout used to detect worker failures. The worker sends periodic heartbeats to indicate its liveness to the broker. If no heartbeats are received by the broker before the expiration of this session timeout, then the broker will remove the worker from the group and initiate a rebalance. Note that the value must be in the allowable range as configured in the broker configuration by
group.min.session.timeout.msandgroup.max.session.timeout.ms.Type: int Default: 10000 (10 seconds) Valid Values: Importance: high ssl.key.password
The password of the private key in the key store file or the PEM key specified in 'ssl.keystore.key'.
Type: password Default: null Valid Values: Importance: high ssl.keystore.certificate.chain
Certificate chain in the format specified by 'ssl.keystore.type'. Default SSL engine factory supports only PEM format with a list of X.509 certificates
Type: password Default: null Valid Values: Importance: high ssl.keystore.key
Private key in the format specified by 'ssl.keystore.type'. Default SSL engine factory supports only PEM format with PKCS#8 keys. If the key is encrypted, key password must be specified using 'ssl.key.password'
Type: password Default: null Valid Values: Importance: high ssl.keystore.location
The location of the key store file. This is optional for client and can be used for two-way authentication for client.
Type: string Default: null Valid Values: Importance: high ssl.keystore.password
The store password for the key store file. This is optional for client and only needed if 'ssl.keystore.location' is configured. Key store password is not supported for PEM format.
Type: password Default: null Valid Values: Importance: high ssl.truststore.certificates
Trusted certificates in the format specified by 'ssl.truststore.type'. Default SSL engine factory supports only PEM format with X.509 certificates.
Type: password Default: null Valid Values: Importance: high ssl.truststore.location
The location of the trust store file.
Type: string Default: null Valid Values: Importance: high ssl.truststore.password
The password for the trust store file. If a password is not set, trust store file configured will still be used, but integrity checking is disabled. Trust store password is not supported for PEM format.
Type: password Default: null Valid Values: Importance: high client.dns.lookup
Controls how the client uses DNS lookups. If set to
use_all_dns_ips, connect to each returned IP address in sequence until a successful connection is established. After a disconnection, the next IP is used. Once all IPs have been used once, the client resolves the IP(s) from the hostname again (both the JVM and the OS cache DNS name lookups, however). If set toresolve_canonical_bootstrap_servers_only, resolve each bootstrap address into a list of canonical names. After the bootstrap phase, this behaves the same asuse_all_dns_ips.Type: string Default: use_all_dns_ips Valid Values: [use_all_dns_ips, resolve_canonical_bootstrap_servers_only] Importance: medium connections.max.idle.ms
Close idle connections after the number of milliseconds specified by this config.
Type: long Default: 540000 (9 minutes) Valid Values: Importance: medium connector.client.config.override.policy
Class name or alias of implementation of
ConnectorClientConfigOverridePolicy. Defines what client configurations can be overridden by the connector. The default implementation is `All`, meaning connector configurations can override all client properties. The other possible policies in the framework include `None` to disallow connectors from overriding client properties, and `Principal` to allow connectors to override only client principals.Type: string Default: All Valid Values: Importance: medium receive.buffer.bytes
The size of the TCP receive buffer (SO_RCVBUF) to use when reading data. If the value is -1, the OS default will be used.
Type: int Default: 32768 (32 kibibytes) Valid Values: [-1,...] Importance: medium request.timeout.ms
The configuration controls the maximum amount of time the client will wait for the response of a request. If the response is not received before the timeout elapses the client will resend the request if necessary or fail the request if retries are exhausted.

The fully qualified name of a SASL login callback handler class that implements the AuthenticateCallbackHandler interface. For brokers, login callback handler config must be prefixed with listener prefix and SASL mechanism name in lower-case. For example, listener.name.sasl_ssl.scram-sha-256.sasl.login.callback.handler.class=com.example.CustomScramLoginCallbackHandler
Type: class Default: null Valid Values: Importance: medium sasl.login.class
The fully qualified name of a class that implements the Login interface. For brokers, login config must be prefixed with listener prefix and SASL mechanism name in lower-case. For example, listener.name.sasl_ssl.scram-sha-256.sasl.login.class=com.example.CustomScramLogin
Type: class Default: null Valid Values: Importance: medium sasl.mechanism
SASL mechanism used for client connections. This may be any mechanism for which a security provider is available. GSSAPI is the default mechanism.
Type: string Default: GSSAPI Valid Values: Importance: medium sasl.oauthbearer.jwks.endpoint.url
The OAuth/OIDC provider URL from which the provider's JWKS (JSON Web Key Set) can be retrieved. The URL can be HTTP(S)-based or file-based. If the URL is HTTP(S)-based, the JWKS data will be retrieved from the OAuth/OIDC provider via the configured URL on broker startup. All then-current keys will be cached on the broker for incoming requests. If an authentication request is received for a JWT that includes a "kid" header claim value that isn't yet in the cache, the JWKS endpoint will be queried again on demand. However, the broker polls the URL every sasl.oauthbearer.jwks.endpoint.refresh.ms milliseconds to refresh the cache with any forthcoming keys before any JWT requests that include them are received. If the URL is file-based, the broker will load the JWKS file from a configured location on startup. In the event that the JWT includes a "kid" header value that isn't in the JWKS file, the broker will reject the JWT and authentication will fail.
Type: string Default: null Valid Values: Importance: medium sasl.oauthbearer.token.endpoint.url
The URL for the OAuth/OIDC identity provider. If the URL is HTTP(S)-based, it is the issuer's token endpoint URL to which requests will be made to login based on the configuration in sasl.jaas.config. If the URL is file-based, it specifies a file containing an access token (in JWT serialized form) issued by the OAuth/OIDC identity provider to use for authorization.

Type: int Default: 131072 (128 kibibytes) Valid Values: [-1,...] Importance: medium ssl.enabled.protocols
The list of protocols enabled for SSL connections. The default is 'TLSv1.2,TLSv1.3' when running with Java 11 or newer, 'TLSv1.2' otherwise. With the default value for Java 11, clients and servers will prefer TLSv1.3 if both support it and fallback to TLSv1.2 otherwise (assuming both support at least TLSv1.2). This default should be fine for most cases. Also see the config documentation for `ssl.protocol`.
Type: list Default: TLSv1.2,TLSv1.3 Valid Values: Importance: medium ssl.keystore.type

The SSL protocol used to generate the SSLContext. The default is 'TLSv1.3' when running with Java 11 or newer, 'TLSv1.2' otherwise. This value should be fine for most use cases. Allowed values in recent JVMs are 'TLSv1.2' and 'TLSv1.3'. 'TLS', 'TLSv1.1', 'SSL', 'SSLv2' and 'SSLv3' may be supported in older JVMs, but their usage is discouraged due to known security vulnerabilities. With the default value for this config and 'ssl.enabled.protocols', clients will downgrade to 'TLSv1.2' if the server does not support 'TLSv1.3'. If this config is set to 'TLSv1.2', clients will not use 'TLSv1.3' even if it is one of the values in ssl.enabled.protocols and the server only supports 'TLSv1.3'.
Type: string Default: TLSv1.3 Valid Values: Importance: medium ssl.provider
The name of the security provider used for SSL connections. Default value is the default security provider of the JVM.

Maximum number of tasks to use for this connector.
Type: int Default: 1 Valid Values: [1,...] Importance: high key.converter
Converter class used to convert between Kafka Connect format and the serialized form that is written to Kafka. This controls the format of the keys in messages written to or read from Kafka, and since this is independent of connectors it allows any connector to work with any serialization format. Examples of common formats include JSON and Avro.
Type: class Default: null Valid Values: Importance: low value.converter
Converter class used to convert between Kafka Connect format and the serialized form that is written to Kafka. This controls the format of the values in messages written to or read from Kafka, and since this is independent of connectors it allows any connector to work with any serialization format. Examples of common formats include JSON and Avro.
Type: class Default: null Valid Values: Importance: low header.converter
HeaderConverter class used to convert between Kafka Connect format and the serialized form that is written to Kafka. This controls the format of the header values in messages written to or read from Kafka, and since this is independent of connectors it allows any connector to work with any serialization format. Examples of common formats include JSON and Avro. By default, the SimpleHeaderConverter is used to serialize header values to strings and deserialize them by inferring the schemas.
Type: class Default: null Valid Values: Importance: low config.action.reload
The action that Connect should take on the connector when changes in external configuration providers result in a change in the connector's configuration properties. A value of 'none' indicates that Connect will do nothing. A value of 'restart' indicates that Connect should restart/reload the connector with the updated configuration properties.The restart may actually be scheduled in the future if the external configuration provider indicates that a configuration value will expire in the future.
Type: string Default: restart Valid Values: [none, restart] Importance: low transforms
Aliases for the transformations to be applied to records.
Type: list Default: "" Valid Values: non-null string, unique transformation aliases Importance: low predicates
Aliases for the predicates used by transformations.
Type: list Default: "" Valid Values: non-null string, unique predicate aliases Importance: low errors.retry.timeout
The maximum duration in milliseconds that a failed operation will be reattempted. The default is 0, which means no retries will be attempted. Use -1 for infinite retries.
Type: long Default: 0 Valid Values: Importance: medium errors.retry.delay.max.ms
The maximum duration in milliseconds between consecutive retry attempts. Jitter will be added to the delay once this limit is reached to prevent thundering herd issues.
Type: long Default: 60000 (1 minute) Valid Values: Importance: medium errors.tolerance
Behavior for tolerating errors during connector operation. 'none' is the default value and signals that any error will result in an immediate connector task failure; 'all' changes the behavior to skip over problematic records.
Type: string Default: none Valid Values: [none, all] Importance: medium errors.log.enable
If true, write each error and the details of the failed operation and problematic record to the Connect application log. This is 'false' by default, so that only errors that are not tolerated are reported.
Type: boolean Default: false Valid Values: Importance: medium errors.log.include.messages
Whether to include in the log the Connect record that resulted in a failure. For sink records, the topic, partition, offset, and timestamp will be logged. For source records, the key and value (and their schemas), all headers, and the timestamp, Kafka topic, Kafka partition, source partition, and source offset will be logged. This is 'false' by default, which will prevent record keys, values, and headers from being written to log files.
Type: boolean Default: false Valid Values: Importance: medium topic.creation.groups
Groups of configurations for topics created by source connectors
Type: list Default: "" Valid Values: non-null string, unique topic creation groups Importance: low exactly.once.support
Permitted values are requested, required. If set to "required", forces a preflight check for the connector to ensure that it can provide exactly-once semantics with the given configuration. Some connectors may be capable of providing exactly-once semantics but not signal to Connect that they support this; in that case, documentation for the connector should be consulted carefully before creating it, and the value for this property should be set to "requested". Additionally, if the value is set to "required" but the worker that performs preflight validation does not have exactly-once support enabled for source connectors, requests to create or validate the connector will fail.
Type: string Default: requested Valid Values: (case insensitive) [REQUIRED, REQUESTED] Importance: medium transaction.boundary
Permitted values are: poll, interval, connector. If set to 'poll', a new producer transaction will be started and committed for every batch of records that each task from this connector provides to Connect. If set to 'connector', relies on connector-defined transaction boundaries; note that not all connectors are capable of defining their own transaction boundaries, and in that case, attempts to instantiate a connector with this value will fail. Finally, if set to 'interval', commits transactions only after a user-defined time interval has passed.
Type: string Default: poll Valid Values: (case insensitive) [INTERVAL, POLL, CONNECTOR] Importance: medium transaction.boundary.interval.ms
If 'transaction.boundary' is set to 'interval', determines the interval for producer transaction commits by connector tasks. If unset, defaults to the value of the worker-level 'offset.flush.interval.ms' property. It has no effect if a different transaction.boundary is specified.
Type: long Default: null Valid Values: [0,...] Importance: low offsets.storage.topic
The name of a separate offsets topic to use for this connector. If empty or not specified, the worker’s global offsets topic name will be used. If specified, the offsets topic will be created if it does not already exist on the Kafka cluster targeted by this connector (which may be different from the one used for the worker's global offsets topic if the bootstrap.servers property of the connector's producer has been overridden from the worker's). Only applicable in distributed mode; in standalone mode, setting this property will have no effect.
Type: string Default: null Valid Values: non-empty string Importance: low

Type: string Default: none Valid Values: [none, all] Importance: medium errors.log.enable
If true, write each error and the details of the failed operation and problematic record to the Connect application log. This is 'false' by default, so that only errors that are not tolerated are reported.
Type: boolean Default: false Valid Values: Importance: medium errors.log.include.messages
Whether to include in the log the Connect record that resulted in a failure. For sink records, the topic, partition, offset, and timestamp will be logged. For source records, the key and value (and their schemas), all headers, and the timestamp, Kafka topic, Kafka partition, source partition, and source offset will be logged. This is 'false' by default, which will prevent record keys, values, and headers from being written to log files.
Type: boolean Default: false Valid Values: Importance: medium errors.deadletterqueue.topic.name
The name of the topic to be used as the dead letter queue (DLQ) for messages that result in an error when processed by this sink connector, or its transformations or converters. The topic name is blank by default, which means that no messages are to be recorded in the DLQ.
