# Zookeeper

This page describes adding a Zookeeper to the Lenses Agent.

{% hint style="info" %}
Only one Zookeeper connection is allowed.

The name must be zookeeper.

See [JSON schema](/latest/devx/6.2/deployment/configuration/agent/overview.md#json-schema-support) for support.

Environment variables are supported; escape the dollar sign

```yaml
sslKeystorePassword:
  value: "\${ENV_VAR_NAME}"
```

{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Only one Zookeeper connection is allowed.
{% endhint %}

## Simple configuration, without metrics <a href="#simple-configuration-without-metrics" id="simple-configuration-without-metrics"></a>

```yaml
zookeeper:
- name: Zookeeper
  version: 1
  tags: ["tag1"]
  configuration:
    zookeeperUrls:
      value:
        - my-zookeeper-host-0:2181
        - my-zookeeper-host-1:3181
        - my-zookeeper-host-2:4181
    # optional, a suffix to Zookeeper's connection string
    zookeeperChrootPath: 
      value: "/mypath" 
    zookeeperSessionTimeout: 
      value: 10000 # in milliseconds
    zookeeperConnectionTimeout: 
      value: 10000 # in milliseconds
```

## Simple configuration, with JMX metrics <a href="#simple-configuration-with-jmx-metrics" id="simple-configuration-with-jmx-metrics"></a>

Simple configuration with Zookeeper metrics read via JMX.

```yaml
zookeeper:    
- name: Zookeeper
  version: 1
  tags: ["tag1"]
  configuration:
    zookeeperUrls:
      value:
        - my-zookeeper-host-0:2181
        - my-zookeeper-host-1:3181
        - my-zookeeper-host-2:4181
    # optional, a suffix to Zookeeper's connection string
    zookeeperChrootPath: 
      value: "/mypath" 
    zookeeperSessionTimeout: 
      value: 10000 # in milliseconds
    zookeeperConnectionTimeout: 
      value: 10000 # in milliseconds
    # all metrics properties are optional
    metricsPort: 
      value: 9581
    metricsType: 
      value: JMX
    metricsSsl: 
      value: false
```

With such a configuration, Lenses will use 3 Zookeeper nodes and will try to read their metrics from following URLs (notice the same port - 9581 - used for all of them, as defined by **metricsPort** property):

* my-zookeeper-host-0:9581
* my-zookeeper-host-1:9581
* my-zookeeper-host-2:9581

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.lenses.io/latest/devx/6.2/deployment/configuration/agent/automation/zookeeper.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
