Kafka Connect TimezoneConverter (Debezium) SMT Reference for Confluent Cloud or Confluent Platform

The TimezoneConverter (io.debezium.transforms.TimezoneConverter) single message transform (SMT) converts timestamp fields in Debezium change event records to a specific timezone. Use this SMT to normalize data across multiple regions into a consistent timezone (for example, UTC).

Limitations

• The TimezoneConverter SMT is only available for Oracle XStream CDC Source and managed Debezium connectors on Confluent Platform.

Important

TimezoneConverter is an open source SMT and Confluent only supports it on Confluent Platform. For complete details, see the official TimezoneConverter SMT documentation.

Predicates

Transformations can be configured with predicates so that the transformation is applied only to records which satisfy a condition. You can use predicates in a transformation chain and, when combined with the Kafka Connect Filter (Kafka) SMT Usage Reference for Confluent Cloud or Confluent Platform, predicates can conditionally filter out specific records. For details and examples, see Predicates.
