title: Kafka
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
If your organization uses [Kafka](https://kafka.apache.org/), you can configure Rancher to send it Kubernetes logs. Afterwards, you can log into your Kafka server to view logs.
|
|
|
|
>**Prerequisite:** You must have a Kafka server configured.
|
|
|
|
## Kafka Server Configuration
|
|
|
|
1. Select the type of **Endpoint** your Kafka server is using:
|
|
|
|
* **Zookeeper**: Enter the IP address and port. By default, Zookeeper uses port `2181`. Please note that a Zookeeper endpoint cannot enable TLS.
|
|
* **Broker**: Click on **Add Endpoint**. For each Kafka broker, enter the IP address and port. By default, Kafka brokers use port `9092`.
|
|
|
|
1. In the **Topic** field, enter the name of a Kafka [topic](https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#basic_ops_add_topic) that your Kubernetes cluster submits logs to.
|
|
|
|
## **Broker** Endpoint Type
|
|
|
|
### SSL Configuration
|
|
|
|
If your Kafka cluster is using SSL for the **Broker**, you need to complete the **SSL Configuration** form.
|
|
|
|
1. Provide the **Client Private Key** and **Client Certificate**. You can either copy and paste them or upload them by using the **Read from a file** button.
|
|
|
|
1. Provide the **CA Certificate PEM**. You can either copy and paste the certificate or upload it using the **Read from a file** button.
|
|
|
|
>**Note:** Kafka does not support self-signed certificates when client authentication is enabled.
|
|
|
|
### SASL configuration
|
|
|
|
If your Kafka cluster is using [SASL authentication](https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#security_sasl) for the Broker, you need to complete the **SASL Configuration** form.
|
|
|
|
1. Enter the SASL **Username** and **Password**.
|
|
|
|
1. Select the **SASL Type** that your Kafka cluster is using.
|
|
|
|
* If your Kafka is using **Plain**, please ensure your Kafka cluster is using SSL.
|
|
|
|
* If your Kafka is using **Scram**, you need to select which **Scram Mechanism** Kafka is using.
