Azure HDInsight

This page describes connection Lenses to a Azure HDInsight cluster.

Lenses will not start without a valid Kafka Connection. You can either add the connection via the bootstrap wizard or use provisioning for automated deployments.

In our Azure Portal, go to Dashboards > Ambari home.

1. Kafka endpoints: Go to Kafka > Configs > Kafka Broker > Kafka Broker hosts

2. Optionally get the Zookeeper endpoints: Go to Zookeeper > Configs > Zookeeper Server > Zookeeper Server hosts.

In the Lenses bootstrap UI:

1. Set the Kafka endpoints as bootstrap servers

2. Set the security protocol, mechanism and Jaas config according to your setup. For information on configuring clients (Lenses) for your HDInsight cluster see here for unauthenticated and here for authenticated.
