.. title:: Kafka topic configuration reference for Confluent Platform .. meta:: :description: This topic provides configuration parameters for Kafka topics. .. include:: ../includes/filter.rst .. _cp-config-topics: ============================================ |ak| Topic Configuration Reference for |cp| ============================================ This topic provides topic-level configuration parameters available for |cp|. The :term:`Kafka topic` configuration parameters are listed in alphabetical order. Topic configurations have a server default and an optional per-topic override. If no per-topic value is provided, the server default is used. The server property for a given topic configuration is provided in the **Server Default Property** entry for each configuration. You can specify a topic override for a configuration when you create a topic using the ``kafka-topic`` tool and the ``--config`` option. You can modify the value for a topic override using the ``kafka-configs`` tool and the ``--alter`` option. To learn about dynamically modifying a topic configuration value, see :ref:`kafka_dyn-topic_config`. To learn more about topics in |ak-tm|, see the `Topics module – Apache Kafka 101 `__ and `Kafka Internals `__ free courses. You can find code samples for different programming languages in `Getting Started with Apache Kafka `__.
