Getting a list of Apache Kafka® cluster hosts

Written by

Updated at February 6, 2026

You can get a list of broker hosts in an Apache Kafka® cluster.

Management console
CLI
REST API
gRPC API
  1. In the management console, navigate to the relevant folder.
  2. Go to Managed Service for Kafka.
  3. Click the name of your cluster and select the Hosts tab.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To get a list of cluster hosts, run this command:

yc managed-kafka cluster list-hosts <cluster_name_or_ID>

You can get the cluster ID and name with the list of clusters in the folder.

  1. Get an IAM token for API authentication and put it into an environment variable:

    export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
    
  2. Call the Cluster.listHosts method, e.g., via the following cURL request:

    curl \
        --request GET \
        --header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \
        --url 'https://mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net/managed-kafka/v1/clusters/<cluster_ID>/hosts'
    

    You can get the cluster ID with the list of clusters in the folder.

  3. Check the server response to make sure your request was successful.

  1. Get an IAM token for API authentication and put it into an environment variable:

    export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
    
  2. Clone the cloudapi repository:

    cd ~/ && git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/yandex-cloud/cloudapi
    

    Below, we assume that the repository contents reside in the ~/cloudapi/ directory.

  3. Call the ClusterService/ListHosts method, e.g., via the following gRPCurl request:

    grpcurl \
        -format json \
        -import-path ~/cloudapi/ \
        -import-path ~/cloudapi/third_party/googleapis/ \
        -proto ~/cloudapi/yandex/cloud/mdb/kafka/v1/cluster_service.proto \
        -rpc-header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \
        -d '{
                "cluster_id": "<cluster_ID>"
            }' \
        mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net:443 \
        yandex.cloud.mdb.kafka.v1.ClusterService.ListHosts
    

    You can get the cluster ID with the list of clusters in the folder.

  4. Check the server response to make sure your request was successful.
