Setting capacity estimations and goals

Cruise Control rebalancing works using capacity estimations and goals. You need to configure the capacity estimates based on your resources, and set the goals for Cruise Control to achieve the Kafka partition rebalancing that meets your requirements.

When configuring Cruise Control, you need to make sure that the Kafka topics and partitions, the capacity estimates, and the proper goals are provided so the rebalancing process works as expected.

You can find the capacity estimate and goal configurations at the following location in Cloudera Manager:
  1. Go to your cluster in Cloudera Manager.
  2. Select Cloudera Manager from the services.
  3. Select Cruise Control from the list of Services.
  4. Click Configuration.
  5. Select Main from the Filters.
