Kafka UI for Apache Kafka®

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.

1. View the description of the CLI command to update a cluster:

   yc managed-kafka cluster update --help
   

2. Enable the Apache Kafka® web interface on your cluster using --kafka-ui-enabled:

   yc managed-kafka cluster update <cluster_name_or_ID> \
     --kafka-ui-enabled=true
   

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

1. Open the current Terraform configuration file that defines your infrastructure.

   For more information about creating this file, see Creating clusters.

2. To enable the Apache Kafka® web interface, add a config.kafka_ui section to the cluster description. In this section, provide the enabled parameter set to true:

   resource "yandex_mdb_kafka_cluster" "<cluster name>" {
     ...
     config {
       ...
       kafka_ui {
         enabled = true
       }
     }
   }
   

3. Make sure the settings are correct.

   1. In the command line, navigate to the directory that contains the current Terraform configuration files defining the infrastructure.

   2. Run this command:

      terraform validate
      

      Terraform will show any errors found in your configuration files.

4. Confirm updating the resources.

   1. Run this command to view the planned changes:

      terraform plan
      

      If you described the configuration correctly, the terminal will display a list of the resources to update and their parameters. This is a verification step that does not apply changes to your resources.

   2. If everything looks correct, apply the changes:

      1. Run this command:

         terraform apply
         

      2. Confirm updating the resources.

      3. Wait for the operation to complete.

For more information, see the Terraform provider documentation.

resource "yandex_mdb_kafka_cluster" "<cluster_name>" {
  ...
  timeouts {
    create = "1h30m" # 1 hour 30 minutes
    update = "2h"    # 2 hours
    delete = "30m"   # 30 minutes
  }
}

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

   export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
   

2. Use the Cluster.update method and send the following request, e.g., via cURL:

   Warning

   The API method will assign default values to all the parameters of the object you are modifying unless you explicitly provide them in your request. To avoid this, list the settings you want to change in the updateMask parameter as a single comma-separated string.

   curl \
       --request PATCH \
       --header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \
       --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
       --url 'https://mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net/managed-kafka/v1/clusters/<cluster_ID>' \
       --data '{
                 "updateMask": "configSpec.kafkaUiConfig.enabled",
                 "configSpec": {
                   "kafkaUiConfig": {
                     "enabled": true
                   }
                 }
               }'
   

   Where:

   • updateMask: List of parameters to update as a single string, separated by commas. Specify configSpec.kafkaUiConfig.enabled to update the setting for enabling Kafka UI.
   • configSpec.kafkaUiConfig.enabled: Set to true to enable Kafka UI.

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

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

1. Get an IAM token for API authentication and put it into the 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 the repository contents are stored in the ~/cloudapi/ directory.

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

   Warning

   The API method will assign default values to all the parameters of the object you are modifying unless you explicitly provide them in your request. To avoid this, list the settings you want to change in the update_mask parameter as an array of paths[] strings.

   Format for listing settings

   "update_mask": {
       "paths": [
           "<setting_1>",
           "<setting_2>",
           ...
           "<setting_N>"
       ]
   }
   

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

       -d '{
             "cluster_id": "<cluster_ID>",
             "update_mask": {
               "paths": [
                 "config_spec.kafka_ui_config.enabled"
               ]
             },
             "config_spec": {
               "kafka_ui_config": {
                 "enabled": true
               }
             }
           }' \
       mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net:443 \
       yandex.cloud.mdb.kafka.v1.ClusterService.Update
   

   Where:

   • update_mask: List of parameters to update as an array of paths[] strings. Specify config_spec.kafka_ui_config.enabled to update the setting for enabling Kafka UI.
   • config_spec.kafka_ui_config.enabled: Set to true to enable Kafka UI.

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

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

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