--destination-cluster string Destination cluster ID for source initiated cluster links.
--destination-bootstrap-server string Bootstrap server address of the destination cluster for source initiated cluster links. Can alternatively be set in the config file using key "bootstrap.servers".
--source-api-key string An API key for the source cluster. For links at destination cluster this is used for remote cluster authentication. For links at source cluster this is used for local cluster authentication. If specified, the cluster will use SASL_SSL with PLAIN SASL as its mechanism for authentication. If you wish to use another authentication mechanism, please do NOT specify this flag, and add the security configs in the config file.
--source-api-secret string An API secret for the source cluster. For links at destination cluster this is used for remote cluster authentication. For links at source cluster this is used for local cluster authentication. If specified, the cluster will use SASL_SSL with PLAIN SASL as its mechanism for authentication. If you wish to use another authentication mechanism, please do NOT specify this flag, and add the security configs in the config file.
--destination-api-key string An API key for the destination cluster. This is used for remote cluster authentication links at the source cluster. If specified, the cluster will use SASL_SSL with PLAIN SASL as its mechanism for authentication.

--config-file string Name of the file containing link configuration. Each property key-value pair should have the format of key=value. Properties are separated by new-line characters.
--dry-run Validate a link, but do not create it.
--no-validate Create a link even if the source cluster cannot be reached.
--cluster string Kafka cluster ID.
--environment string Environment ID.

--dry-run Validate a link, but do not create it.
--no-validate Create a link even if the source cluster cannot be reached.
--url string Base URL of REST Proxy Endpoint of Kafka Cluster (include /kafka for embedded Rest Proxy). Must set flag or CONFLUENT_REST_URL.
--ca-cert-path string Path to a PEM-encoded CA to verify the Confluent REST Proxy.
