Connect CLI



View on GitHub Download

This is a command line interface (CLI) around the Kafka Connect REST Interface to manage connectors. It is used in a git like fashion where the first program argument indicates the command.

The CLI is meant to behave as a good Unix citizen: input from stdin; output to stdout; out of band info to stderr and non-zero exit status on error. Commands dealing with configuration expect or produce data in .properties style: key=value lines and comments start with a #.

JSON config files can be used with the -f | –format flag.

You can override the default endpoint by setting an environment variable KAFKA_CONNECT_REST or the -e | –endpoint flag i.e.

export KAFKA_CONNECT_REST="http://myserver:myport"
