Data Transport Layer Configuration

Version: 1.0.0

The KafkaClientDataTransport layer allows defining the configuration for the underlying KafkaConsumer and KafkaProducer instances that are used in this Cloud Connection. The user should have a good understanding of how a Kafka Client can be configured. Wrong configuration combinations can lead the producer or the consumer to throw exceptions. The configurable properties that are shown in the ESF UI can be further referenced in the Kafka Producer configurations documentation and the Kafka Consumer configurations documentation.

Attention

The Data Transport layer creates the Kafka Producer and Kafka Consumer instances with the most secure setting available: SSL authentication. This option requires specifying a valid Keystore Path, otherwise, the Data Transport layer will not be initialized. Section Security configurations explains in more detail the security-related configurations and their setup.
