confluent kafka link create
Description
Create a new cluster link.
confluent kafka link create <link> [flags]
Flags
--source-cluster string Source cluster ID.
--source-bootstrap-server string Bootstrap server address of the source cluster. Can alternatively be set in the configuration file using key "bootstrap.servers".
--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 configuration file using key "bootstrap.servers".
--remote-cluster string Remote cluster ID for bidirectional cluster links.
--remote-bootstrap-server string Bootstrap server address of the remote cluster for bidirectional links. Can alternatively be set in the configuration 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, do not specify this flag, and add the security configurations in the configuration 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, do not specify this flag, and add the security configurations in the configuration 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. If you wish to use another authentication mechanism, do not specify this flag, and add the security configurations in the configuration file.
--destination-api-secret string An API secret for the destination cluster. This is used for remote cluster authentication for links at the source cluster. If specified, the cluster will use SASL_SSL with PLAIN SASL as its mechanism for authentication. If you wish to use another authentication mechanism, do not specify this flag, and add the security configurations in the configuration file.
--remote-api-key string An API key for the remote cluster for bidirectional links. This is used for remote 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, do not specify this flag, and add the security configurations in the configuration file.
--remote-api-secret string An API secret for the remote cluster for bidirectional links. This is used for remote 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, do not specify this flag, and add the security configurations in the configuration file.
--local-api-key string An API key for the local cluster for bidirectional links. This is used for local cluster authentication if remote link's connection mode is Inbound. If specified, the cluster will use SASL_SSL with PLAIN SASL as its mechanism for authentication. If you wish to use another authentication mechanism, do not specify this flag, and add the security configurations in the configuration file.
--local-api-secret string An API secret for the local cluster for bidirectional links. This is used for local cluster authentication if remote link's connection mode is Inbound. If specified, the cluster will use SASL_SSL with PLAIN SASL as its mechanism for authentication. If you wish to use another authentication mechanism, do not specify this flag, and add the security configurations in the configuration file.
--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.
--context string CLI context name.
--destination-cluster string REQUIRED: Destination cluster ID.
--destination-bootstrap-server string Bootstrap server address of the destination cluster. Can alternatively be set in the configuration 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, do not specify this flag, and add the security configurations in the configuration 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, do not specify this flag, and add the security configurations in the configuration 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. If you wish to use another authentication mechanism, do not specify this flag, and add the security configurations in the configuration file.
--destination-api-secret string An API secret for the destination cluster. This is used for remote cluster authentication for links at the source cluster. If specified, the cluster will use SASL_SSL with PLAIN SASL as its mechanism for authentication. If you wish to use another authentication mechanism, do not specify this flag, and add the security configurations in the configuration file.
--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.
--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.
--client-cert-path string Path to client cert to be verified by Confluent REST Proxy, include for mTLS authentication.
--client-key-path string Path to client private key, include for mTLS authentication.
--no-authentication Include if requests should be made without authentication headers, and user will not be prompted for credentials.
--prompt Bypass use of available login credentials and prompt for Kafka Rest credentials.
--context string CLI context name.
Global Flags
-h, --help Show help for this command.
--unsafe-trace Equivalent to -vvvv, but also log HTTP requests and responses which might contain plaintext secrets.
-v, --verbose count Increase verbosity (-v for warn, -vv for info, -vvv for debug, -vvvv for trace).
