Zookeeper

This page describes connecting Lenses to Zookeeper.

Not all cloud providers give access to Zookeeper. Zookeeper is optional for Lenses.

See provisioning for automating connections.

Connectivity to Zookeeper is optional for Lenses. Zookeeper is used by Lenses for such purposes:

1. To provide quotas management (until quotas can be managed via the Brokers API)

2. To autodetect the JMX connectivity settings to Kafka brokers (if metrics are not defined directly for Kafka connection).

To add a Zookeeper connection go to Admin->Connections->New Connection->Zookeeper.

1. Add a comma-separated list of Zookeepers, including port

2. Optionally set a session timeout

3. Optionally set a Chroot path

4. Optionally set a connection timeout

5. Optionally enable the collection of JMX metrics (Simple or Jolokia with SSL and Basic auth support)
