You can request detailed information about each Managed Service for Apache Kafka® cluster you created.

Getting a list of clusters in a folderGetting a list of clusters in a folder

Management console
CLI
REST API
gRPC API
  1. In the management console, go to the relevant folder.
  2. In the services list, select Managed Service for Kafka.

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

The folder specified when creating the CLI profile is used by default. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To request a list of Apache Kafka® clusters in the default folder, run the command:

yc managed-kafka cluster list

Result:

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

    export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
    
  2. Use the Cluster.list method and send the following request, e.g., via cURL:

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

    You can request the folder ID with the list of folders in the cloud.

  3. View the server response to make sure the request was successful.

  2. Clone the cloudapi repository:

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

    Below, we assume the repository contents are stored in the ~/cloudapi/ directory.

  3. Use the ClusterService/List call and send the following request, e.g., via gRPCurl:

    grpcurl \
        -format json \
        -import-path ~/cloudapi/ \
        -import-path ~/cloudapi/third_party/googleapis/ \
