  2. Click Add a New Kafka Broker and complete these fields:

    Name

    Enter a name for the event broker configuration.

    Host

    Enter the bootstrap URL of the event broker server. You can specify an IP or FQDN. 

    If the Kafka cluster runs multiple event brokers, click +Add to add more hosts. You can add up to five hosts.

    Port

    Enter a port to communicate with the event broker server.

    Tip

    Ensure that the hosts are accessible from the VAST cluster's management interface at the specified ports.

  3. Click Add Kafka Broker

    The newly created event broker configuration is added to the list of event brokers.

To edit or remove an event broker, right-click it and choose Edit or Remove.
