Kafka settings

Kafka settings affect the performance of the database cluster. When you create a Kafka database cluster, the values for all settings are set automatically. The values are chosen to ensure high cluster performance, they vary depending on the cluster configuration.

If the automatic values are not suitable for your tasks, set your own values when create cluster or change settings in the created cluster.

For your information

We recommend that you change the settings only when necessary — incorrect values can degrade cluster performance.

See the official Kafka documentation for a detailed description of the settings.

You can view the list of settings available for change when creating a cluster or change-settings.

If you have changed settings, you can see a list of all changes.

For your information

Changing some settings in the settings causes the databases in the cluster to reboot — the cluster may be unavailable at this time.

  1. In Control Panel, go to Cloud Platform → Databases.
  2. Open the cluster page → Settings tab.
  3. In the DBMS Settings block, click Change and specify the new values.
  4. Press Save
