Kafka Connector

1. The helm chart for Kafka connector should be available under charts/kafka-connect-sink.
2. Validate image repository and tag:

   image: confluentinc/cp-kafka-connect
   tag: <release-version-tag> e.g v1.0.1
   

3. Configurations for the following should be on hand to update the values.yaml file- RDB_modern hostname, username, password and kafka bootstrap server names.

   sqlServerConnector: 
      config: 
         connection.url: jdbc:sqlserver://nbs-db.EXAMPLE_FIXME.nbspreview.com:1433;databaseName=rdb_modern;encrypt=true;trustServerCertificate=true;,
         connection.user: EXAMPLE_FIXME,
         connection.password: EXAMPLE_FIXME,
   kafka:
      bootstrapServers: "EXAMPLE_FIXME"
   

4. Install pod

   helm install -f ./kafka-connect-sink/values.yaml cp-kafka-connect-server ./kafka-connect-sink/
   

5. Verify if pod is running

   kubectl get pods
   

6. Validate service
   • a. This is an internal service with no ingress. Validation should be part of NBS 7.6 Application Installation Guide RTR Pipeline Validation
   • b. If the service has any trouble connecting with the database, run this command to reset the ConfigMap.

     kubectl delete configmap cp-kafka-connect-sqlserver-connect
