Learn how to connect to a Kafka host from Cloudera Management Console. You
need to select the Kafka cluster you created, select a Kafka broker, and then connect to the
broker host.
You must have created a Machine User account, granted
environment access to the Machine User, created Kafka topics, and created Ranger
policies.
-
Navigate to , and select the environment where your Kafka cluster is
running.
-
On the Data Hubs tab of
your environment, select the Kafka cluster you created.
-
On the Kafka cluster page, click Hardware and select one
of the Kafka brokers to run your producer test.
Select and copy the full hostname of the broker.
-
Using the SSH client of your preference, connect to the broker host using your
Cloudera user and your workload password for
authentication.
For example, if connecting from a terminal, you can use:
ssh [***YOUR_USER_NAME***]@[***BROKER_HOST_NAME***]
