Appendix A. Broker configuration parameters advertised.host.name Type: string Default: null Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only DEPRECATED: only used when advertised.listeners or listeners are not set. Use advertised.listeners instead. Hostname to publish to ZooKeeper for clients to use. In IaaS environments, this may need to be different from the interface to which the broker binds. If this is not set, it will use the value for host.name if configured. Otherwise it will use the value returned from java.net.InetAddress.getCanonicalHostName(). advertised.listeners Type: string Default: null Importance: high Dynamic update: per-broker Listeners to publish to ZooKeeper for clients to use, if different than the listeners config property. In IaaS environments, this may need to be different from the interface to which the broker binds. If this is not set, the value for listeners will be used. Unlike listeners , it is not valid to advertise the 0.0.0.0 meta-address. Also unlike listeners , there can be duplicated ports in this property, so that one listener can be configured to advertise another listener's address. This can be useful in some cases where external load balancers are used. advertised.port Type: int Default: null Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only DEPRECATED: only used when advertised.listeners or listeners are not set. Use advertised.listeners instead. The port to publish to ZooKeeper for clients to use. In IaaS environments, this may need to be different from the port to which the broker binds. If this is not set, it will publish the same port that the broker binds to. auto.create.topics.enable Type: boolean Default: true Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only Enable auto creation of topic on the server. auto.leader.rebalance.enable Type: boolean Default: true Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only Enables auto leader balancing. A background thread checks the distribution of partition leaders at regular intervals, configurable by leader.imbalance.check.interval.seconds . If the leader imbalance exceeds leader.imbalance.per.broker.percentage , leader rebalance to the preferred leader for partitions is triggered. background.threads Type: int Default: 10 Valid Values: [1,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: cluster-wide The number of threads to use for various background processing tasks. broker.id Type: int Default: -1 Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only The broker id for this server. If unset, a unique broker id will be generated.To avoid conflicts between zookeeper generated broker id's and user configured broker id's, generated broker ids start from reserved.broker.max.id + 1. compression.type Type: string Default: producer Importance: high Dynamic update: cluster-wide Specify the final compression type for a given topic. This configuration accepts the standard compression codecs ('gzip', 'snappy', 'lz4', 'zstd'). It additionally accepts 'uncompressed' which is equivalent to no compression; and 'producer' which means retain the original compression codec set by the producer. control.plane.listener.name Type: string Default: null Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only Name of listener used for communication between controller and brokers. Broker will use the control.plane.listener.name to locate the endpoint in listeners list, to listen for connections from the controller. For example, if a broker's config is : listeners = INTERNAL://192.1.1.8:9092, EXTERNAL://10.1.1.5:9093, CONTROLLER://192.1.1.8:9094 listener.security.protocol.map = INTERNAL:PLAINTEXT, EXTERNAL:SSL, CONTROLLER:SSL control.plane.listener.name = CONTROLLER On startup, the broker will start listening on "192.1.1.8:9094" with security protocol "SSL". On controller side, when it discovers a broker's published endpoints through zookeeper, it will use the control.plane.listener.name to find the endpoint, which it will use to establish connection to the broker. For example, if the broker's published endpoints on zookeeper are : "endpoints" : ["INTERNAL://broker1.example.com:9092","EXTERNAL://broker1.example.com:9093","CONTROLLER://broker1.example.com:9094"] and the controller's config is : listener.security.protocol.map = INTERNAL:PLAINTEXT, EXTERNAL:SSL, CONTROLLER:SSL control.plane.listener.name = CONTROLLER then controller will use "broker1.example.com:9094" with security protocol "SSL" to connect to the broker. If not explicitly configured, the default value will be null and there will be no dedicated endpoints for controller connections. delete.topic.enable Type: boolean Default: true Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only Enables delete topic. Delete topic through the admin tool will have no effect if this config is turned off. host.name Type: string Default: "" Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only DEPRECATED: only used when listeners is not set. Use listeners instead. hostname of broker. If this is set, it will only bind to this address. If this is not set, it will bind to all interfaces. leader.imbalance.check.interval.seconds Type: long Default: 300 Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only The frequency with which the partition rebalance check is triggered by the controller. leader.imbalance.per.broker.percentage Type: int Default: 10 Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only The ratio of leader imbalance allowed per broker. The controller would trigger a leader balance if it goes above this value per broker. The value is specified in percentage. listeners Type: string Default: null Importance: high Dynamic update: per-broker Listener List - Comma-separated list of URIs we will listen on and the listener names. If the listener name is not a security protocol, listener.security.protocol.map must also be set. Listener names and port numbers must be unique. Specify hostname as 0.0.0.0 to bind to all interfaces. Leave hostname empty to bind to default interface. Examples of legal listener lists: PLAINTEXT://myhost:9092,SSL://:9091 CLIENT://0.0.0.0:9092,REPLICATION://localhost:9093. log.dir Type: string Default: /tmp/kafka-logs Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only The directory in which the log data is kept (supplemental for log.dirs property). log.dirs Type: string Default: null Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only The directories in which the log data is kept.

If not set, the value in log.flush.scheduler.interval.ms is used. log.flush.offset.checkpoint.interval.ms Type: int Default: 60000 (1 minute) Valid Values: [0,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only The frequency with which we update the persistent record of the last flush which acts as the log recovery point. log.flush.scheduler.interval.ms Type: long Default: 9223372036854775807 Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only The frequency in ms that the log flusher checks whether any log needs to be flushed to disk. log.flush.start.offset.checkpoint.interval.ms Type: int Default: 60000 (1 minute) Valid Values: [0,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only The frequency with which we update the persistent record of log start offset. log.retention.bytes Type: long Default: -1 Importance: high Dynamic update: cluster-wide The maximum size of the log before deleting it. log.retention.hours Type: int Default: 168 Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only The number of hours to keep a log file before deleting it (in hours), tertiary to log.retention.ms property. log.retention.minutes Type: int Default: null Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only The number of minutes to keep a log file before deleting it (in minutes), secondary to log.retention.ms property. If not set, the value in log.retention.hours is used. log.retention.ms Type: long Default: null Importance: high Dynamic update: cluster-wide The number of milliseconds to keep a log file before deleting it (in milliseconds), If not set, the value in log.retention.minutes is used. If set to -1, no time limit is applied. log.roll.hours Type: int Default: 168 Valid Values: [1,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only The maximum time before a new log segment is rolled out (in hours), secondary to log.roll.ms property. log.roll.jitter.hours Type: int Default: 0 Valid Values: [0,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only The maximum jitter to subtract from logRollTimeMillis (in hours), secondary to log.roll.jitter.ms property. log.roll.jitter.ms Type: long Default: null Importance: high Dynamic update: cluster-wide The maximum jitter to subtract from logRollTimeMillis (in milliseconds). If not set, the value in log.roll.jitter.hours is used. log.roll.ms Type: long Default: null Importance: high Dynamic update: cluster-wide The maximum time before a new log segment is rolled out (in milliseconds). If not set, the value in log.roll.hours is used. log.segment.bytes Type: int Default: 1073741824 (1 gibibyte) Valid Values: [14,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: cluster-wide The maximum size of a single log file. log.segment.delete.delay.ms Type: long Default: 60000 (1 minute) Valid Values: [0,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: cluster-wide The amount of time to wait before deleting a file from the filesystem. message.max.bytes Type: int Default: 1048588 Valid Values: [0,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: cluster-wide The largest record batch size allowed by Kafka (after compression if compression is enabled). If this is increased and there are consumers older than 0.10.2, the consumers' fetch size must also be increased so that they can fetch record batches this large. In the latest message format version, records are always grouped into batches for efficiency. In message format versions, uncompressed records are not grouped into batches and this limit only applies to a single record in that case.This can be set per topic with the topic level max.message.bytes config. min.insync.replicas Type: int Default: 1 Valid Values: [1,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: cluster-wide When a producer sets acks to "all" (or "-1"), min.insync.replicas specifies the minimum number of replicas that must acknowledge a write for the write to be considered successful. If this minimum cannot be met, then the producer will raise an exception (either NotEnoughReplicas or NotEnoughReplicasAfterAppend). When used together, min.insync.replicas and acks allow you to enforce greater durability guarantees. A typical scenario would be to create a topic with a replication factor of 3, set min.insync.replicas to 2, and produce with acks of "all". This will ensure that the producer raises an exception if a majority of replicas do not receive a write. num.io.threads Type: int Default: 8 Valid Values: [1,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: cluster-wide The number of threads that the server uses for processing requests, which may include disk I/O. num.network.threads Type: int Default: 3 Valid Values: [1,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: cluster-wide The number of threads that the server uses for receiving requests from the network and sending responses to the network. num.recovery.threads.per.data.dir Type: int Default: 1 Valid Values: [1,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: cluster-wide The number of threads per data directory to be used for log recovery at startup and flushing at shutdown. num.replica.alter.log.dirs.threads Type: int Default: null Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only The number of threads that can move replicas between log directories, which may include disk I/O. num.replica.fetchers Type: int Default: 1 Importance: high Dynamic update: cluster-wide Number of fetcher threads used to replicate messages from a source broker.

This is similar to the producer request timeout. offsets.load.buffer.size Type: int Default: 5242880 Valid Values: [1,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only Batch size for reading from the offsets segments when loading offsets into the cache (soft-limit, overridden if records are too large). offsets.retention.check.interval.ms Type: long Default: 600000 (10 minutes) Valid Values: [1,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only Frequency at which to check for stale offsets. offsets.retention.minutes Type: int Default: 10080 Valid Values: [1,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only After a consumer group loses all its consumers (i.e. becomes empty) its offsets will be kept for this retention period before getting discarded. For standalone consumers (using manual assignment), offsets will be expired after the time of last commit plus this retention period. offsets.topic.compression.codec Type: int Default: 0 Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only Compression codec for the offsets topic - compression may be used to achieve "atomic" commits. offsets.topic.num.partitions Type: int Default: 50 Valid Values: [1,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only The number of partitions for the offset commit topic (should not change after deployment). offsets.topic.replication.factor Type: short Default: 3 Valid Values: [1,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only The replication factor for the offsets topic (set higher to ensure availability). Internal topic creation will fail until the cluster size meets this replication factor requirement. offsets.topic.segment.bytes Type: int Default: 104857600 (100 mebibytes) Valid Values: [1,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only The offsets topic segment bytes should be kept relatively small in order to facilitate faster log compaction and cache loads. port Type: int Default: 9092 Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only DEPRECATED: only used when listeners is not set. Use listeners instead. the port to listen and accept connections on. queued.max.requests Type: int Default: 500 Valid Values: [1,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only The number of queued requests allowed for data-plane, before blocking the network threads. quota.consumer.default Type: long Default: 9223372036854775807 Valid Values: [1,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only DEPRECATED: Used only when dynamic default quotas are not configured for <user, <client-id> or <user, client-id> in Zookeeper. Any consumer distinguished by clientId/consumer group will get throttled if it fetches more bytes than this value per-second. quota.producer.default Type: long Default: 9223372036854775807 Valid Values: [1,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only DEPRECATED: Used only when dynamic default quotas are not configured for <user>, <client-id> or <user, client-id> in Zookeeper. Any producer distinguished by clientId will get throttled if it produces more bytes than this value per-second. replica.fetch.min.bytes Type: int Default: 1 Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only Minimum bytes expected for each fetch response. If not enough bytes, wait up to replica.fetch.wait.max.ms (broker config). replica.fetch.wait.max.ms Type: int Default: 500 Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only max wait time for each fetcher request issued by follower replicas. This value should always be less than the replica.lag.time.max.ms at all times to prevent frequent shrinking of ISR for low throughput topics. replica.high.watermark.checkpoint.interval.ms Type: long Default: 5000 (5 seconds) Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only The frequency with which the high watermark is saved out to disk. replica.lag.time.max.ms Type: long Default: 30000 (30 seconds) Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only If a follower hasn't sent any fetch requests or hasn't consumed up to the leaders log end offset for at least this time, the leader will remove the follower from isr. replica.socket.receive.buffer.bytes Type: int Default: 65536 (64 kibibytes) Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only The socket receive buffer for network requests. replica.socket.timeout.ms Type: int Default: 30000 (30 seconds) Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only The socket timeout for network requests.

If the value is -1, the OS default will be used. transaction.max.timeout.ms Type: int Default: 900000 (15 minutes) Valid Values: [1,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only The maximum allowed timeout for transactions. If a client's requested transaction time exceed this, then the broker will return an error in InitProducerIdRequest. This prevents a client from too large of a timeout, which can stall consumers reading from topics included in the transaction. transaction.state.log.load.buffer.size Type: int Default: 5242880 Valid Values: [1,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only Batch size for reading from the transaction log segments when loading producer ids and transactions into the cache (soft-limit, overridden if records are too large). transaction.state.log.min.isr Type: int Default: 2 Valid Values: [1,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only Overridden min.insync.replicas config for the transaction topic. transaction.state.log.num.partitions Type: int Default: 50 Valid Values: [1,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only The number of partitions for the transaction topic (should not change after deployment). transaction.state.log.replication.factor Type: short Default: 3 Valid Values: [1,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only The replication factor for the transaction topic (set higher to ensure availability).

This setting also influences producer id expiration - producer ids are expired once this time has elapsed after the last write with the given producer id. Note that producer ids may expire sooner if the last write from the producer id is deleted due to the topic's retention settings. unclean.leader.election.enable Type: boolean Default: false Importance: high Dynamic update: cluster-wide Indicates whether to enable replicas not in the ISR set to be elected as leader as a last resort, even though doing so may result in data loss. zookeeper.connect Type: string Default: null Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only Specifies the ZooKeeper connection string in the form hostname:port where host and port are the host and port of a ZooKeeper server. To allow connecting through other ZooKeeper nodes when that ZooKeeper machine is down you can also specify multiple hosts in the form hostname1:port1,hostname2:port2,hostname3:port3 . The server can also have a ZooKeeper chroot path as part of its ZooKeeper connection string which puts its data under some path in the global ZooKeeper namespace. For example to give a chroot path of /chroot/path you would give the connection string as hostname1:port1,hostname2:port2,hostname3:port3/chroot/path . zookeeper.connection.timeout.ms Type: int Default: null Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only The max time that the client waits to establish a connection to zookeeper. If not set, the value in zookeeper.session.timeout.ms is used. zookeeper.max.in.flight.requests Type: int Default: 10 Valid Values: [1,... ] Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only The maximum number of unacknowledged requests the client will send to Zookeeper before blocking. zookeeper.session.timeout.ms Type: int Default: 18000 (18 seconds) Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only Zookeeper session timeout. zookeeper.set.acl Type: boolean Default: false Importance: high Dynamic update: read-only Set client to use secure ACLs. broker.id.generation.enable Type: boolean Default: true Importance: medium Dynamic update: read-only Enable automatic broker id generation on the server. When enabled the value configured for reserved.broker.max.id should be reviewed. broker.rack Type: string Default: null Importance: medium Dynamic update: read-only Rack of the broker. This will be used in rack aware replication assignment for fault tolerance. Examples: RACK1 , us-east-1d . connections.max.idle.ms Type: long Default: 600000 (10 minutes) Importance: medium Dynamic update: read-only Idle connections timeout: the server socket processor threads close the connections that idle more than this. connections.max.reauth.ms Type: long Default: 0 Importance: medium Dynamic update: read-only When explicitly set to a positive number (the default is 0, not a positive number), a session lifetime that will not exceed the configured value will be communicated to v2.2.0 or later clients when they authenticate. The broker will disconnect any such connection that is not re-authenticated within the session lifetime and that is then subsequently used for any purpose other than re-authentication. Configuration names can optionally be prefixed with listener prefix and SASL mechanism name in lower-case. For example, listener.name.sasl_ssl.oauthbearer.connections.max.reauth.ms=3600000. controlled.shutdown.enable Type: boolean Default: true Importance: medium Dynamic update: read-only Enable controlled shutdown of the server. controlled.shutdown.max.retries Type: int Default: 3 Importance: medium Dynamic update: read-only Controlled shutdown can fail for multiple reasons. This determines the number of retries when such failure happens. controlled.shutdown.retry.backoff.ms Type: long Default: 5000 (5 seconds) Importance: medium Dynamic update: read-only Before each retry, the system needs time to recover from the state that caused the failure (Controller fail over, replica lag etc). This config determines the amount of time to wait before retrying. controller.socket.timeout.ms Type: int Default: 30000 (30 seconds) Importance: medium Dynamic update: read-only The socket timeout for controller-to-broker channels. default.replication.factor Type: int Default: 1 Importance: medium Dynamic update: read-only default replication factors for automatically created topics. delegation.token.expiry.time.ms Type: long Default: 86400000 (1 day) Valid Values: [1,... ] Importance: medium Dynamic update: read-only The token validity time in miliseconds before the token needs to be renewed.

Default value 7 days. delegation.token.secret.key Type: password Default: null Importance: medium Dynamic update: read-only Secret key to generate and verify delegation tokens. The same key must be configured across all the brokers. If the key is not set or set to empty string, brokers will disable the delegation token support. delete.records.purgatory.purge.interval.requests Type: int Default: 1 Importance: medium Dynamic update: read-only The purge interval (in number of requests) of the delete records request purgatory. fetch.max.bytes Type: int Default: 57671680 (55 mebibytes) Valid Values: [1024,... ] Importance: medium Dynamic update: read-only The maximum number of bytes we will return for a fetch request.

A longer delay means potentially fewer rebalances, but increases the time until processing begins. group.max.session.timeout.ms Type: int Default: 1800000 (30 minutes) Importance: medium Dynamic update: read-only The maximum allowed session timeout for registered consumers. Longer timeouts give consumers more time to process messages in between heartbeats at the cost of a longer time to detect failures. group.max.size Type: int Default: 2147483647 Valid Values: [1,... ] Importance: medium Dynamic update: read-only The maximum number of consumers that a single consumer group can accommodate. group.min.session.timeout.ms Type: int Default: 6000 (6 seconds) Importance: medium Dynamic update: read-only The minimum allowed session timeout for registered consumers. Shorter timeouts result in quicker failure detection at the cost of more frequent consumer heartbeating, which can overwhelm broker resources. inter.broker.listener.name Type: string Default: null Importance: medium Dynamic update: read-only Name of listener used for communication between brokers. If this is unset, the listener name is defined by security.inter.broker.protocol. It is an error to set this and security.inter.broker.protocol properties at the same time. inter.broker.protocol.version Type: string Default: 2.8-IV1 Valid Values: [0.8.0, 0.8.1, 0.8.2, 0.9.0, 0.10.0-IV0, 0.10.0-IV1, 0.10.1-IV0, 0.10.1-IV1, 0.10.1-IV2, 0.10.2-IV0, 0.11.0-IV0, 0.11.0-IV1, 0.11.0-IV2, 1.0-IV0, 1.1-IV0, 2.0-IV0, 2.0-IV1, 2.1-IV0, 2.1-IV1, 2.1-IV2, 2.2-IV0, 2.2-IV1, 2.3-IV0, 2.3-IV1, 2.4-IV0, 2.4-IV1, 2.5-IV0, 2.6-IV0, 2.7-IV0, 2.7-IV1, 2.7-IV2, 2.8-IV0, 2.8-IV1] Importance: medium Dynamic update: read-only Specify which version of the inter-broker protocol will be used. This is typically bumped after all brokers were upgraded to a new version. Example of some valid values are: 0.8.0, 0.8.1, 0.8.1.1, 0.8.2, 0.8.2.0, 0.8.2.1, 0.9.0.0, 0.9.0.1 Check ApiVersion for the full list. log.cleaner.backoff.ms Type: long Default: 15000 (15 seconds) Valid Values: [0,... ] Importance: medium Dynamic update: cluster-wide The amount of time to sleep when there are no logs to clean. log.cleaner.dedupe.buffer.size Type: long Default: 134217728 Importance: medium Dynamic update: cluster-wide The total memory used for log deduplication across all cleaner threads. log.cleaner.delete.retention.ms Type: long Default: 86400000 (1 day) Importance: medium Dynamic update: cluster-wide How long are delete records retained? log.cleaner.enable Type: boolean Default: true Importance: medium Dynamic update: read-only Enable the log cleaner process to run on the server.

Only applicable for logs that are being compacted. log.cleaner.min.cleanable.ratio Type: double Default: 0.5 Importance: medium Dynamic update: cluster-wide The minimum ratio of dirty log to total log for a log to eligible for cleaning. If the log.cleaner.max.compaction.lag.ms or the log.cleaner.min.compaction.lag.ms configurations are also specified, then the log compactor considers the log eligible for compaction as soon as either: (i) the dirty ratio threshold has been met and the log has had dirty (uncompacted) records for at least the log.cleaner.min.compaction.lag.ms duration, or (ii) if the log has had dirty (uncompacted) records for at most the log.cleaner.max.compaction.lag.ms period. log.cleaner.min.compaction.lag.ms Type: long Default: 0 Importance: medium Dynamic update: cluster-wide The minimum time a message will remain uncompacted in the log.

By default all the available cipher suites are supported. ssl.client.auth Type: string Default: none Valid Values: [required, requested, none] Importance: medium Dynamic update: per-broker Configures kafka broker to request client authentication. The following settings are common: ssl.client.auth=required If set to required client authentication is required. ssl.client.auth=requested This means client authentication is optional. unlike required, if this option is set client can choose not to provide authentication information about itself ssl.client.auth=none This means client authentication is not needed. ssl.enabled.protocols Type: list Default: TLSv1.2,TLSv1.3 Importance: medium Dynamic update: per-broker The list of protocols enabled for SSL connections. The default is 'TLSv1.2,TLSv1.3' when running with Java 11 or newer, 'TLSv1.2' otherwise. With the default value for Java 11, clients and servers will prefer TLSv1.3 if both support it and fallback to TLSv1.2 otherwise (assuming both support at least TLSv1.2). This default should be fine for most cases. Also see the config documentation for ssl.protocol . ssl.key.password Type: password Default: null Importance: medium Dynamic update: per-broker The password of the private key in the key store file orthe PEM key specified in `ssl.keystore.key'.

'TLS', 'TLSv1.1', 'SSL', 'SSLv2' and 'SSLv3' may be supported in older JVMs, but their usage is discouraged due to known security vulnerabilities. With the default value for this config and 'ssl.enabled.protocols', clients will downgrade to 'TLSv1.2' if the server does not support 'TLSv1.3'. If this config is set to 'TLSv1.2', clients will not use 'TLSv1.3' even if it is one of the values in ssl.enabled.protocols and the server only supports 'TLSv1.3'. ssl.provider Type: string Default: null Importance: medium Dynamic update: per-broker The name of the security provider used for SSL connections.

If a client wants to expose JMX operations on a custom reporter, the custom reporter needs to additionally implement an MBean trait that extends kafka.metrics.KafkaMetricsReporterMBean trait so that the registered MBean is compliant with the standard MBean convention. listener.security.protocol.map Type: string Default: PLAINTEXT:PLAINTEXT,SSL:SSL,SASL_PLAINTEXT:SASL_PLAINTEXT,SASL_SSL:SASL_SSL Importance: low Dynamic update: per-broker Map between listener names and security protocols. This must be defined for the same security protocol to be usable in more than one port or IP. For example, internal and external traffic can be separated even if SSL is required for both. Concretely, the user could define listeners with names INTERNAL and EXTERNAL and this property as: INTERNAL:SSL,EXTERNAL:SSL . As shown, key and value are separated by a colon and map entries are separated by commas. Each listener name should only appear once in the map. Different security (SSL and SASL) settings can be configured for each listener by adding a normalised prefix (the listener name is lowercased) to the config name. For example, to set a different keystore for the INTERNAL listener, a config with name listener.name.internal.ssl.keystore.location would be set. If the config for the listener name is not set, the config will fallback to the generic config (i.e. ssl.keystore.location ). log.message.downconversion.enable Type: boolean Default: true Importance: low Dynamic update: cluster-wide This configuration controls whether down-conversion of message formats is enabled to satisfy consume requests.

Note that this configuration is ignored if an extension of KafkaPrincipalBuilder is provided by the principal.builder.class configuration. ssl.secure.random.implementation Type: string Default: null Importance: low Dynamic update: per-broker The SecureRandom PRNG implementation to use for SSL cryptography operations. transaction.abort.timed.out.transaction.cleanup.interval.ms Type: int Default: 10000 (10 seconds) Valid Values: [1,... ] Importance: low Dynamic update: read-only The interval at which to rollback transactions that have timed out. transaction.remove.expired.transaction.cleanup.interval.ms Type: int Default: 3600000 (1 hour) Valid Values: [1,... ] Importance: low Dynamic update: read-only The interval at which to remove transactions that have expired due to transactional.id.expiration.ms passing. zookeeper.ssl.cipher.suites Type: list Default: null Importance: low Dynamic update: read-only Specifies the enabled cipher suites to be used in ZooKeeper TLS negotiation (csv). Overrides any explicit value set via the zookeeper.ssl.ciphersuites system property (note the single word "ciphersuites"). The default value of null means the list of enabled cipher suites is determined by the Java runtime being used. zookeeper.ssl.crl.enable Type: boolean Default: false Importance: low Dynamic update: read-only Specifies whether to enable Certificate Revocation List in the ZooKeeper TLS protocols. Overrides any explicit value set via the zookeeper.ssl.crl system property (note the shorter name). zookeeper.ssl.enabled.protocols Type: list Default: null Importance: low Dynamic update: read-only Specifies the enabled protocol(s) in ZooKeeper TLS negotiation (csv). Overrides any explicit value set via the zookeeper.ssl.enabledProtocols system property (note the camelCase). The default value of null means the enabled protocol will be the value of the zookeeper.ssl.protocol configuration property. zookeeper.ssl.endpoint.identification.algorithm Type: string Default: HTTPS Importance: low Dynamic update: read-only Specifies whether to enable hostname verification in the ZooKeeper TLS negotiation process, with (case-insensitively) "https" meaning ZooKeeper hostname verification is enabled and an explicit blank value meaning it is disabled (disabling it is only recommended for testing purposes). An explicit value overrides any "true" or "false" value set via the zookeeper.ssl.hostnameVerification system property (note the different name and values; true implies https and false implies blank). zookeeper.ssl.ocsp.enable Type: boolean Default: false Importance: low Dynamic update: read-only Specifies whether to enable Online Certificate Status Protocol in the ZooKeeper TLS protocols. Overrides any explicit value set via the zookeeper.ssl.ocsp system property (note the shorter name). zookeeper.ssl.protocol Type: string Default: TLSv1.2 Importance: low Dynamic update: read-only Specifies the protocol to be used in ZooKeeper TLS negotiation. An explicit value overrides any value set via the same-named zookeeper.ssl.protocol system property. zookeeper.sync.time.ms Type: int Default: 2000 (2 seconds) Importance: low Dynamic update: read-only How far a ZK follower can be behind a ZK leader.
