Provisioning REST API


Overview 

The Connection State API offers functionalities to manage and update Kafka connection states within our software suite, providing a seamless experience for system integrators and developers alike.

Endpoint: Update Connections State 

Endpoint Details: 

  • URI: /api/v1/state/connections
  • Method: PUT

Description: 

This endpoint allows users to update connection states within our system.

Parameters: 

  1. validateOnly (boolean):

    • Description: If set, the request will only validate the provided configurations without applying any actual changes.
    • Default: false.
  2. validateConnectivity (boolean):

    • Description: Determines if a connectivity test should be executed as part of the validation procedure.
    • Default: true.

Request Structure: 

The request format is multipart/form-data with two main parts:

  • provisioning:

    • Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
    • Description: A YAML-based manifest detailing desired connection states for various services such as Kafka, Confluent Schema Registry, Elasticsearch, and more.
  • attachedFile:

    • Content-Type: application/octet-stream
    • Description: Here, users can attach essential files to facilitate connections. The filename acts as a reference in the provisioning manifest.

Provisioning Manifest 

In your provisioning manifest, you’ll define the configuration for your connections. As an example, the Kafka connection can be defined as follows:

kafka:
  - name: kafka
    version: 1
    tags:
      - primary
      - production
    configuration:
      protocol:
        value: SASL_SSL
      sslKeystore:
        file: "keystoreFile"
      sslKeystorePassword:
        value: "keystore_password"
      kafkaBootstrapServers:
        value:
          - "sasl-ssl://broker1.example.com:9092"
          - "sasl-ssl://broker2.example.com:9092"
      saslMechanism:
        value: "GSSAPI"
      metricsPort:
        value: 7091
      metricsUsername:
        value: "metricsUser"
      metricsPassword:
        value: "metricsPass123"
      metricsType:
        value: "JMX"
      additionalProperties:
        value:
          client.id: "my-producer"
      metricsCustomUrlMappings:
        value:
          broker1.example.com: "http://metrics.broker1.example.com"
          broker2.example.com: "http://metrics.broker2.example.com"
aws:
  - name: AWSCluster
    version: 1
    tags:
      - main
      - registrySupport
    configuration:
      accessKeyId: "YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY"
      secretAccessKey: "YOUR_AWS_SECRET"
      region: "us-west-1"

awsGlueSchemaRegistry:
  - name: schema-registry
    version: 1
    tags:
      - production
    configuration:
      accessKeyId:
        reference: "AWSCluster"
      secretAccessKey:
        reference: "AWSCluster"
      glueRegistryArn:
        value: "arn:aws:glue:zone:id:registry/registry_name"

In this example:

  • The sslKeystore from the Kafka connection is a file that is attached to the request as keystoreFile.
  • The awsGlueSchemaRegistry connection’s accessKeyId and secretAccessKey are references to the aws connection’s accessKeyId and secretAccessKey respectively. This allows you to reuse the same credentials for multiple services.

For a comprehensive list of all supported properties for each connection type, refer to the detailed OpenAPI specification.

Sample Request: 

curl -X PUT "https://api.yourproductdomain.com/api/v1/state/connections?validateOnly=true&validateConnectivity=true" \
