In this tab, define the connections used for receiving messages, topics to which you want to subscribe, and the consumer group for the topics.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Bootstrap servers |
Specify the Bootstrap servers from which you want to receive the Kafka streaming data. |
| Topics | Enter the name of each Kafka topic from which you want to consume streaming data (messages). You must include all topics that you want to consume. |
| Consumer group |
Enter the name of the group of which you want this consumer to be a member. Each Kafka Consumer step will start a single thread for consuming. When part of a consumer group, each consumer is assigned a subset of the partitions from topics it has subscribed to, which locks those partitions. Each instance of a Kafka Consumer step will only run a single consumer thread. |
