Hello,
I am trying to connect to kafka via CLI to publish messages to a topic from a
windows box.
I’ve read the docs, googled and asked others (everyone I know just uses the
GUI). I’m clearly missing something.
I’ve included the (masked) info I use to connect via Kafka Tool followed by a
short list of specific questions.
Properties : General
Cluster Name – ABCD, Kafka Cluster Version – 0.11, Zookeeper Host –
localhost, Zookeeper Port – 9999, Chroot path - /
Properties : Security
Type – SSL, Truststore Location – Path to kafka-trustore, Trustore
Password – abcdefghij123, Keystore Location – <blank>, Keystore Password –
<blank>, Keystore Private Key Password – <blank>
Properties : Advanced
Bootstrap servers – ssl://123.45.67.891:1234, ssl://123.45.67.892:1234,
ssl://123.45.67.893:1234, SASL mechanism – <blank>
1. Does it matter which version of kafka I use to connect? I'm trying with
2.12-2.2.0
2. I’ve attempted to use the below command, but receive the following error.
What am I missing here?
Kafka-console-producer --broker-list ssl://123.45.67.891:1234,
ssl://123.45.67.892:1234 --producer.config
C:\Users\example_user\Kafka\client-ssl.properties --topic FakeTopic
Contents of client-ssl.properties:
security.protocol = SSL
ssl.truststore.location = C:/Users/example_user/Kafka/kafka-truststore
ssl.truststore.password = abcdefghij123
Error:
