How to fetch messages from Kafka that host in virtualbox vm - apache-kafka

I tried to fetch messages by Java client from host OS . I configured bridge network between host and guest , kafka is running but java client was stuck when try to do ConsumerRecords<String,String> records = consumers.poll(100);
My kafka in guest OS listening on localhost:9092

Could you share your Consumer properties?
There are a couple of properties to validate in you server.properties file: listeners and advertised.listeners. You can check this: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/FAQ#FAQ-Whycan'tmyconsumers/producersconnecttothebrokers?

unable to connect to kafka broker (via zookeeper) using Conduktor client

Able to connect successfully to local kafka broker/cluster running locally (dockerized) using Conduktor, but when trying to connect to Kafka cluster running on Unix VM, getting below error.
Error:
"The broker [...] is reachable but Kafka can't connect. Ensure you have access to the advertised listeners of the the brokers and the proper authorization"
Appreciate any assistance.
running locally (dockerized)
When running in docker, you need to ensure that the ports are accessible from outside of your container. To verify this, try doing a telnet <ip> <port> and check if you are able to connect.
Since the error message says, the broker is reachable, I suppose you would be able to successfully telnet to the broker.
Next, check your broker config called advertised.listeners. Here you need to mention your IP:Port combination where IP is what you will be giving in your client program i.e. Conduktor.
An example for that would be
advertised.listeners=PLAINTEXT://1.2.3.4:9092
and then restart your broker and reconnect. If you are using ssl then you need to provide some extra configuration. See Configuring Kafka brokers for more.
Try to add in /etc/hosts (Unix-like) or C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (windows-like) the Kafka server in such manner kafka_server_ip kafka_server_name_in_dns (e.g. 10.10.0.1 kafka).

How to reach Cloudera Kafka Broker on private network from outside?

I have a cluster inside a VPN which contains a server with private IP. I'm trying to set up a Kafka communication between an external server to my private server. My approach is to set an IP table where a public IP is pointing my private IP. Also, I opened the port 9092 and 9093 to make it reachable from outside. Now I am available to connect successfully to my server with the public IP from the external server.
telnet <public_ip> 9092
Connected to <public_ip>
My kafka broker is under a cloudera cluster and I created it with Cloudera Manager. The configuration is the following:
kafka.properties:
listeners=PLAINTEXT://<private_ip>:9092,SSL://<private_ip>:9093
advertised.listeners=PLAINTEXT://<private_ip>:9092,SSL://<private_ip>:9093
advertised.host.name:
<public_ip>
Using this broker configuration the comunication works perfectly inside the cluster either using the public_ip or private_ip of the kafka broker host.
What I see now is that I have a working broker that can be used with a public_ip and a external server that is able to reach the public_ip and it's required ports. But when I try to connect to the broker from a external server, I have the following error:
NO BROKERS AVAILABLE
There's no more information of the error. On my external server I have the kafka python package where I configure the producer as:
"bootstrap_servers": ["<publi_ip>:9092"]
on a existing TOPIC of my kafka broker.
Especifications:
private host
cloudera: CDH 5.12.0
kafka: kafka 2.2.0-1.2.2.0
zookeeper: Zookeeper 3.4.5
external host
kafka Python package: kafka-python==1.4.2
The problem is very similar to this post. But in this case he uses a forwarded port with public ip. Is any possibility to do it with ip tables? Anyone has managed to do it on a cloudera cluster?
Thank you in advance.
The question isn't specific to Cloudera or Python. And I don't think Cloudera Manager has some setting that'll set this up for you.
advertised.listeners will have to be a publicly resolvable address that can be used to access each broker individually by clients (e.g two brokers cannot have the same listener setting and be used from a port forward from the public address to the internal address)
Your setup is very similar to Kafka running in Docker or Cloud providers such as AWS, in that you're interacting over two networks, so refer to this blog for more information
Also, unless you setup some other firewall settings to prevent random access, don't expose brokers in the plaintext protocol

Unable to connect broker - kafka Tool

I am facing below error message when i was trying to connect and see the topic/consumer details of one of my kafka clusters we have.
we have 3 brokers in the cluster which I able to see but the topic and its partitions.
Note : I have kafka 1.0 and kafka tool version is 2.0.1
I had the same issue on my MacBook Pro. The tool was using "tshepo-mbp" as the hostname which it could not resolve. To get it to work I added 127.0.0.1 tshepo-mbp to the /etc/hosts file.
kafka tool is most likely using the hostname to connect to the broker and cannot reach it. You maybe connecting to the zookeeper host by IP address but make sure you can connect/ping the host name of the broker from the machine running the kafka tool.
If you cannot ping the broker either fix the network issues or as a workaround edit the host file on your client to let it know how to reach the broker by its name
This issue occurs if you have not set listeners and advertised.listeners property in server.properties file.
For Ex:
config/server.properties
...
listeners=PLAINTEXT://:9092
...
advertised.listeners=PLAINTEXT://<public-ip/host-name>:9092
...
To fix this issue, we need to change the server.properties file.
$ vim /usr/local/etc/kafka/server.properties
Here update the listeners value from
listeners=PLAINTEXT://:9092
to
listeners=PLAINTEXT://localhost:9092
source:https://medium.com/#Ankitthakur/apache-kafka-installation-on-mac-using-homebrew-a367cdefd273
For better visibility (even already commented the same in early days thread)
In my case, I got to know when I used Kafkatool from my local machine, tool tris to find out Kafka broker port which was blocked from my cluster admins for my local machine, that is the reason I was not able to connect.
Resolution:
Either ask the admin to open the port for intranet if they can, if they can not you can use tunnelling for your testing purpose or time being for your port.
Hope this would help a few.

Remote access to Kafka

I'm not able to access kafka which is in remote server from my local server.
I tried to set parameter advertised.listeners=PLAINTEXT://ip:port in server.properties of kafka where ip is the public ip of my remote machine where kafka is. But still I'm not able to connect. What should I need to do next? I'm using confluent kafka of version 3.3.0.

Can't reach kafka producer with node-red

I have installed node-red on raspberry pi 3 to collect data from sensors and then store them in kafka but now I have some issue with kafka producer node.
I've setup a kafka server on my laptop that correctly works in console: if I send messages on kafka producer console I correctly receive it on consumer console.
Unfortunately when I try to inject a timestamp in kafka producer in node-red on raspberry, server gives no response.
Debug page of node-red says: "BrokerNotAvailableError: Broker not available"
In producer node ZKQuorum field I've typed the ip of the laptop and set port to 9092, as I seen in example on npm site.
I'm sure the topic is correct.
I'm sure zookeeper is running and kafka server also. Indeed if at same time I try to use kafka with laptop console it works great.
I've also tried to reach kafka producer port with telnet: connections are accepted.
I've already posted same question on node-red community, without success for now.
Any hint about this issue?
UPDATE:
Update. I've tried to implement a python function in node-red to send a simple message to the kafka producer and I have obtained a deeper error log in:
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/kafka/client_async.py", line 808
I opened file and at line 808 there is a function with this comment:
It can be helpful?
You have to configure the accepted listeners field on the kafka server properties to the IP address of your laptop. Try to change zookeeper connect to actual ip, not localhost.
Try this property in etc/kafka/server.properties: listeners=PLAINTEXT://<your ip here>:<kafka port here>. you will have to restart kafka for this to take affect
