Confluent Resource Names (CRNs) on Confluent Cloud¶
Confluent Resource Names (CRNs) provide a uniform way to uniquely identify resources such as a Kafka cluster, topic, or consumer group, and are used in audit logs.
Each CRN is a uniform resource identifier (URI) that uniquely identifies
the associated Confluent resource and is prefixed with crn://
.
In the CRN:
crn://confluent.cloud/organization=fc5ba16d-661d-474c-85df-c2a1ed26032c/environment=env-pqr45/cloud-cluster=lkc-a1b2c/kafka=lkc-a1b2c
Interpret the content as follows:
- An authorization event occurred in Kafka cluster
kafka=lkc-a1b2c
- The Kafka cluster is in the environment
environment=env-pqr45
- The environment is in the organization
organization=fc5ba16d-661d-474c-85df-c2a1ed26032c
The following CRNs identify some of the most commonly-used Confluent Cloud resources.
- Cluster Resource CRN
This CRN identifies the Kafka cluster.
Example:
crn://confluent.cloud/organization=fc5ba16d-661d-474c-85df-c2a1ed26032c/environment=env-pqr45/cloud-cluster=lkc-a1b2c/kafka=lkc-a1b2c crn://confluent.cloud/kafka=lkc-a1b2c
- Topic CRN
This CRN identifies Confluent Cloud topics.
Example:
crn://confluent.cloud/kafka=lkc-a1b2c/topic=my-topic
- Service Account CRN
This CRN identifies Confluent Cloud service accounts.
Examples:
crn://confluent.cloud/organization=fc5ba16d-661d-474c-85df-c2a1ed26032c/service-account=sa-ymnkzp crn://confluent.cloud/organization=fc5ba16d-661d-474c-85df-c2a1ed26032c/service-account=sa-x8y9z0 crn://confluent.cloud/organization=fc5ba16d-661d-474c-85df-c2a1ed26032c/service-account=%2A
