Configuring the Kafka broker host and port values

Describes the steps that configure the Apache Kafka broker server host and port values for receiving and sending data for your Cloudera Observability On-Premises environment. The properties are enabled and added in Cloudera Manager.

After Cloudera Observability On-Premises has been deployed these steps set the Kafka broker host and port values for the Kafka service operations for the Cloudera Observability On-Premises environment.

Verify that you have set the property values for the Kafka Broker service on at least three hosts. For more information, click the Related Information link below.
