Configuring Apache Kafka to work seamlessly with Edge Flow Manager (EFM) involves
creating Kafka topics that receive the heartbeats and acknowledgments from MiNiFi
agents.
Ensure that you are using Apache Kafka version 2.5 or above. For more information
about Kafka and stream processinging setup, see the Stream Processing
documentation.
-
Create a Kafka topic for receiving heartbeats.
To receive heartbeats from MiNiFi agents, you need to create a Kafka topic
dedicated to this purpose. For example, you can create a Kafka topic named
heartbeat.
-
Create a Kafka topic for receiving acknowledgements.
Similar to heartbeats, acknowledgments from MiNiFi agents require a separate
Kafka topic. For example, you can create a Kafka topic called
ack.
- Optional:
If you wish to enhance the security of your Kafka deployment by enabling
two-way TLS or authentication using SASL_SSL, configure the specific Kafka
server properties accordingly.
