You can configure Apache Kafka from the Kafka tab in the Customize Services step.

1. For your initial installation, accept the default values set by Apache Ambari.
2. If Ambari prompts you with Some configurations need your attention before you can proceed, review the list of properties and provide the required information.
3. Review the Apache Kafka Component Guide for information about configuring Kafka to meet your operational objectives.
4. If you have enabled Kerberos, ensure that the listener configuration is set to advertised.listeners= SASL_PLAINTEXT://$HOSTNAME:$PORT.
