# kafka
|
|
|
|
The `kafka` buffer buffers data into an Apache Kafka topic. It uses the Kafka topic to persist data while the data is in transit.
|
|
|
|
The following example shows how to run the Kafka buffer in an HTTP pipeline.
|
|
It runs against a locally running Kafka cluster.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
kafka-buffer-pipeline:
|
|
source:
|
|
http:
|
|
buffer:
|
|
kafka:
|
|
bootstrap_servers: ["localhost:9092"]
|
|
encryption:
|
|
type: none
|
|
topics:
|
|
- name: my-buffer-topic
|
|
group_id: data-prepper
|
|
create_topic: true
|
|
processor:
|
|
- grok:
|
|
match:
|
|
message: [ "%{COMMONAPACHELOG}" ]
|
|
sink:
|
|
- stdout:
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuration options
|
|
|
|
Use the following configuration options with the `kafka` buffer.

|
|
|
Option | Required | Type | Description

|
--- | --- | --- | ---
|
|
`bootstrap_servers` | Yes | String list | The host and port for the initial connection to the Kafka cluster. You can configure multiple Kafka brokers by using the IP address or the port number for each broker. When using [Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK)](https://aws.amazon.com/msk/) as your Kafka cluster, the bootstrap server information is obtained from Amazon MSK using the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) provided in the configuration.
|
|
`topics` | Yes | List | A list of [topics](#topic) to use. You must supply one topic per buffer.
|
|
`authentication` | No | [Authentication](#authentication) | Sets the authentication options for both the pipeline and Kafka. For more information, see [Authentication](#authentication).
|
|
`encryption` | No | [Encryption](#encryption) | The encryption configuration for encryption in transit. For more information, see [Encryption](#encryption).
|
|
`aws` | No | [AWS](#aws) | The AWS configuration. For more information, see [aws](#aws).
|
|

|
|
`fetch_max_wait` | No | Integer | The maximum amount of time during which the server blocks a fetch request when there isn't sufficient data to satisfy the `fetch_min_bytes` requirement through Kafka's `fetch.max.wait.ms` setting. Default is `500ms`.
|
