confluent local kafka topic produce¶

Important

The confluent local commands are intended for a single-node development environment and are not suitable for a production environment. The data that are produced are transient and are intended to be temporary. For production-ready workflows, see Install and Upgrade Confluent Platform.

Description¶

Produce messages to a Kafka topic. Configuration and command guide: https://docs.confluent.io/confluent-cli/current/cp-produce-consume.html.

When using this command, you cannot modify the message header, and the message header will not be printed out.

confluent local kafka topic produce <topic> [flags]

Tip

You must export the path as an environment variable for each terminal session, or set the path to your Confluent Platform installation in your shell profile. For example:

cat ~/.bash_profile
export CONFLUENT_HOME=<path-to-confluent>
export PATH="${CONFLUENT_HOME}/bin:$PATH"
