.. _kafkarest_config: |crest| Configuration Options ============================= In addition to the settings specified here, the |crest-long| accepts the settings for the Java producer and consumer (currently the new producer and old/new consumers). Use these to override the default settings of producers and consumers in the |crest|. Use the ``client.`` prefix to override the default settings of producers and consumers in |crest-long|. If you want the configuration to apply only to consumers or producers, then replace the prefix with ``consumer.`` or ``producer.``, respectively. When configuration options are exposed in the |crest-long| API, priority is given to settings in the user request, then to overrides provided as configuration options, and finally falls back to the default values provided by the Java |ak| clients. General ------- ``id`` Unique ID for the |crest-long| server instance. This is used in generating unique IDs for consumers that do not specify their ID. The ID is empty by default, which makes a single server setup easier to get up and running, but is not safe for multi-server deployments where automatic consumer IDs are used. * Type: string * Default: "" * Importance: high ``bootstrap.servers`` A list of |ak| brokers to connect to. For example, ``PLAINTEXT://hostname:9092,SSL://hostname2:9092``. This configuration is particularly important when |ak| security is enabled, because |ak| may expose multiple endpoints that all will be stored in |zk|, but |crest| may need to be configured with just one of those endpoints. 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. Because 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). ``listeners`` Comma-separated list of listeners that listen for API requests over either HTTP or HTTPS. If a listener uses HTTPS, the appropriate SSL configuration parameters need to be set as well. * Type: list * Default: ``http://0.0.0.0:8082`` * Importance: high ``schema.registry.url`` The base URL for |sr| that should be used by the serializer. * Type: string * Default: ``http://localhost:8081`` * Importance: high ``zookeeper.connect`` DEPRECATED: Specifies the |zk| connection string in the form hostname:port where host and port are the host and port of a |zk| server. To allow connecting through other |zk| nodes when that |zk| machine is down you can also specify multiple hosts in the form hostname1:port1,hostname2:port2,hostname3:port3. The server may also have a |zk| chroot path as part of it's |zk| connection string which puts its data under some path in the global |zk| namespace. If so the consumer should use the same chroot path in its connection string. For example to give a chroot path of /chroot/path you would give the connection string as hostname1:port1,hostname2:port2,hostname3:port3/chroot/path. * Type: string * Default: ``localhost:2181`` * Importance: high ``consumer.request.max.bytes`` Maximum number of bytes in unencoded message keys and values returned by a single request. This can be used by administrators to limit the memory used by a single consumer and to control the memory usage required to decode responses on clients that cannot perform a streaming decode. Note that the actual payload will be larger due to overhead from base64 encoding the response data and from JSON encoding the entire response. * Type: long * Default: 67108864 * Importance: medium ``consumer.threads`` The maximum number of threads to run consumer requests on. Note that this must be greater than the maximum number of consumers in a single consumer group. The sentinel value of -1 allows the number of threads to grow as needed to fulfill active consumer requests. Inactive threads will ultimately be stopped and cleaned up. * Type: int * Default: 50 * Importance: medium ``consumer.request.timeout.ms`` The maximum total time to wait for messages for a request if the maximum number of messages has not yet been reached. * Type: int * Default: 1000 * Importance: medium ``host.name`` The host name used to generate absolute URLs in responses. If empty, the default canonical hostname is used. * Type: string * Default: "" * Importance: medium ``simpleconsumer.pool.size.max`` DEPRECATED: Maximum number of SimpleConsumers that can be instantiated per broker. If 0, then the pool size is not limited. * Type: int * Default: 25 * Importance: medium ``access.control.allow.methods`` Set value to Jetty Access-Control-Allow-Origin header for specified methods. * Type: string * Default: "" * Importance: low ``access.control.allow.origin`` Set value for Jetty Access-Control-Allow-Origin header. * Type: string * Default: "" * Importance: low ``consumer.instance.timeout.ms`` Amount of idle time before a consumer instance is automatically destroyed. * Type: int * Default: 300000 * Importance: low ``consumer.iterator.backoff.ms`` Amount of time to backoff when an iterator runs out of data. If a consumer has a dedicated worker thread, this is effectively the maximum error for the entire request timeout. It should be small enough to closely target the timeout, but large enough to avoid busy waiting. * Type: int * Default: 50 * Importance: low ``fetch.min.bytes`` Minimum number of bytes in message keys and values returned by a single request before the timeout of ``consumer.request.timeout.ms`` passes. The special sentinel value of -1 disables this functionality. * Type: int * Default: -1 * Importance: medium ``consumer.iterator.timeout.ms`` Timeout for blocking consumer iterator operations. This should be set to a small enough value that it is possible to effectively peek() on the iterator. * Type: int * Default: 1 * Importance: low ``debug`` Boolean indicating whether extra debugging information is generated in some error response entities. * Type: boolean * Default: false * Importance: low ``metric.reporters`` A list of classes to use as metrics reporters. Implementing the ``MetricReporter`` interface allows plugging in classes that will be notified of new metric creation. The JmxReporter is always included to register JMX statistics. * Type: list * Default: [] * Importance: low ``metrics.jmx.prefix`` Prefix to apply to metric names for the default JMX reporter. * Type: string * Default: ``kafka.rest`` * Importance: low ``metrics.num.samples`` The number of samples maintained to compute metrics. * Type: int * Default: 2 * Importance: low ``metrics.sample.window.ms`` The metrics system maintains a configurable number of samples over a fixed window size. This configuration controls the size of the window. For example, you might maintain two samples each measured over a 30 second period. When a window expires, you erase and overwrite the oldest window. * Type: long * Default: 30000 * Importance: low ``port`` DEPRECATED: port to listen on for new connections. Use ``listeners`` instead. * Type: int * Default: 8082 * Importance: low ``producer.threads`` Number of threads to run produce requests on. * Type: int * Default: 5 * Importance: low ``request.logger.name`` Name of the SLF4J logger to write the NCSA Common Log Format request log. * Type: string * Default: ``io.confluent.rest-utils.request`` * Importance: low ``response.mediatype.default`` The default response media type that should be used if no specify types are requested in an Accept header. * Type: string * Default: ``application/vnd.kafka.v1+json`` * Importance: low ``response.mediatype.preferred`` An ordered list of the server's preferred media types used for responses, from most preferred to least. * Type: list * Default: [application/vnd.kafka.v1+json, application/vnd.kafka+json, application/json] * Importance: low ``shutdown.graceful.ms`` Amount of time to wait after a shutdown request for outstanding requests to complete. * Type: int * Default: 1000 * Importance: low ``simpleconsumer.pool.timeout.ms`` Amount of time to wait for an available SimpleConsumer from the pool before failing. Use 0 for no timeout. * Type: int * Default: 1000 * Importance: low ``kafka.rest.resource.extension.class`` A list of classes to use as RestResourceExtension. Implementing the interface RestResourceExtension allows you to inject user defined resources like filters to |crest|. Typically used to add custom capabilities like logging, security, etc. * Type: list * Default: "" * Importance: low ``advertised.listeners`` .. include:: includes/api-v3-preview.rst List of advertised listeners. This configuration is used to generate absolute URLs in responses. The HTTP and HTTPS protocols are supported. Each listener must include the protocol, hostname, and port. For example: ``http://myhost:8080`` and ``https://0.0.0.0:8081``. * Type: list * Default: "" * Importance: low ``confluent.resource.name.authority`` .. include:: includes/api-v3-preview.rst The authority where the governance of the name space is delegated to. This value is defined by the remainder of the CRN. This is used when generating Confluent resource names. Examples: ``confluent.cloud`` and ``mds-01.example.com``. * Type: string * Default: "" * Importance: low Security Configuration Options ------------------------------ |crest| supports SSL for securing communication between REST clients and the |crest| (HTTPS), and both SSL and SASL to secure communication between |crest| and |ak-tm|. .. _kafka-rest-https-config: ------------------------------- Configuration Options for HTTPS ------------------------------- ``ssl.keystore.location`` Used for HTTPS.

The rules are evaluated in order and the first rule that matches a principal name is used to map it to a short name. Any later rules in the list are ignored. By default, DN of the X.500 certificate is the principal. * Type: list * Default: DEFAULT * Importance: low For Schema Registry use ``confluent.schema.registry.auth.ssl.principal.mapping.rules``. For details about customizing configuration options for SSL user name, see :ref:`kafka_config_ssl_user_name`. .. _kafkarest_config_ssl_user_name: Configuration Options for Customizing SSL User Name ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ By default, the SSL user name is in the form "CN=writeuser,OU=Unknown,O=Unknown,L=Unknown,ST=Unknown,C=Unknown". You can change this by setting ``confluent.rest.auth.ssl.principal.mapping.rules`` to a customized rule in ``kafka-rest.properties``. This configuration allows a list of rules for mapping the X.500 distinguished name (DN) to short name. The rules are evaluated in order and the first rule that matches a DN is used to map it to a short name. Any later rules in the list are ignored. The format of ``ssl.principal.mapping.rules`` is a list where each rule starts with "RULE:" and contains an expression using the formats below. The default rule returns string representation of the X.500 certificate DN. If the DN matches the pattern, then the replacement command is run over the name. This also supports lowercase/uppercase options, to force the translated result to be all lower/uppercase case. This is done by adding a "/L" or "/U' to the end of the rule: .. sourcecode:: bash RULE:pattern/replacement/ RULE:pattern/replacement/[LU] Example ``ssl.principal.mapping.rules`` values are: .. sourcecode:: bash RULE:^CN=(.*?),OU=ServiceUsers.*$/$1/, RULE:^CN=(.*?),OU=(.*?),O=(.*?),L=(.*?),ST=(.*?),C=(.*?)$/$1@$2/L, RULE:^.*[Cc][Nn]=([a-zA-Z0-9.]*).*$/$1/L, DEFAULT These rules translate the DN as follows: "CN=serviceuser,OU=ServiceUsers,O=Unknown,L=Unknown,ST=Unknown,C=Unknown" to ``serviceuser`` and "CN=adminUser,OU=Admin,O=Unknown,L=Unknown,ST=Unknown,C=Unknown" to ``adminuser@admin``. For use in REST Proxy: ``confluent.rest.auth.ssl.principal.mapping.rules`` A list of rules for mapping distinguished name (DN) from the client certificate to short name. The rules are evaluated in order and the first rule that matches a principal name is used to map it to a short name. Any later rules in the list are ignored. By default, DN of the X.500 certificate is the principal. * Type: list * Default: DEFAULT * Importance: low For |sr| use ``confluent.schema.registry.auth.ssl.principal.mapping.rules``. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Configuration Options for SSL Encryption between |crest| and Apache Kafka Brokers --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note that all the SSL configurations (for |crest| to Broker communication) are prefixed with "client".
