Managing connectors

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To get a list of cluster connectors, run the command:

yc managed-kafka connector list --cluster-name=<cluster_name>

Result:

+--------------+-----------+
|     NAME     | TASKS MAX |
+--------------+-----------+
| connector559 |         1 |
| ...          |           |
+--------------+-----------+

You can retrieve the cluster name with a list of clusters in the folder.

To get a list of connectors, use the list REST API method for the Connector resource or the ConnectorService/List gRPC API call and provide the cluster ID in the clusterId request parameter.

To find out the cluster ID, get a list of clusters in the folder.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To get detailed information about a connector, run this command:

yc managed-kafka connector get <connector_name>\
   --cluster-name=<cluster_name>

Result:

name: connector785
tasks_max: "1"
cluster_id: c9qbkmoiimsl********
...

You can request the connector name with a list of cluster connectors and the cluster name with a list of clusters in the folder.

To get connector details, use the get REST API method for the Connector resource or the ConnectorService/Get gRPC API call and provide the following in the request:

• Cluster ID in the clusterId parameter. To find out the cluster ID, get a list of clusters in the folder.
• Connector name in the connectorName parameter. To find out the name, retrieve a list of cluster connectors.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

5. Make sure the settings are correct.

   1. Using the command line, navigate to the folder that contains the up-to-date Terraform configuration files with an infrastructure plan.

   2. Run the command:

      terraform validate
      

      If there are errors in the configuration files, Terraform will point to them.

6. Confirm updating the resources.

   1. Run the command to view planned changes:

      terraform plan
      

      If the resource configuration descriptions are correct, the terminal will display a list of the resources to modify and their parameters. This is a test step. No resources are updated.

   2. If you are happy with the planned changes, apply them:

      1. Run the command:
