# kafka
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can use the Apache Kafka source (`kafka`) in Data Prepper to read records from one or more Kafka [topics](https://kafka.apache.org/intro#intro_concepts_and_terms). These records hold events that your Data Prepper pipeline can ingest. The `kafka` source uses Kafka's [Consumer API](https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#consumerapi) to consume messages from the Kafka broker, which then creates Data Prepper events for further processing by the Data Prepper pipeline.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
The following example shows the `kafka` source in a Data Prepper pipeline:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```json
|
||
|
kafka-pipeline:
|
||
|
source:
|
||
|
kafka:
|
||
|
bootstrap_servers:
|
||
|
- 127.0.0.1:9093
|
||
|
topics:
|
||
|
- name: Topic1
|
||
|
group_id: groupID1
|
||
|
- name: Topic2
|
||
|
group_id: groupID1
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Configuration
|
||
|
|
||
|
Use the following configuration options with the `kafka` source.

||
|
|
||
|
Option | Required | Type | Description
|

|
||
|
`bootstrap_servers` | Yes, when not using Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) as a cluster. | IP address | The host or port for the initial connection to the Kafka cluster. You can configure multiple Kafka brokers by using the IP address or port number for each broker. When using [Amazon MSK](https://aws.amazon.com/msk/) as your Kafka cluster, the bootstrap server information is obtained from MSK using the MSK Amazon Resource Name (ARN) provided in the configuration.
|
||
|
`topics` | Yes | JSON array | The Kafka topics that the Data Prepper `kafka` source uses to read messages. You can configure up to 10 topics. For more information about `topics` configuration options, see [Topics](#topics).
|
||
|
`schema` | No | JSON object | The schema registry configuration. For more information, see [Schema](#schema).
|
||
|
`authentication` | No | JSON object | Set the authentication options for both the pipeline and Kafka. For more information, see [Authentication](#authentication).
|
||
|
`encryption` | No | JSON object | The encryption configuration. For more information, see [Encryption](#encryption).
|
||
|
`aws` | No | JSON object | The AWS configuration. For more information, see [aws](#aws).
|
||
|
`acknowledgments` | No | Boolean | If `true`, enables the `kafka` source to receive [end-to-end acknowledgments]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/data-prepper/pipelines/pipelines/#end-to-end-acknowledgments) when events are received by OpenSearch sinks. Default is `false`.
|
||
|

||
|
