Create and manage config group

Available in VPC

A config group is a feature that manages Kafka configuration files applied to a cluster. This guide describes how to create and delete Kafka configuration files to be applied to a cluster and how to change Kafka config settings.

Config group interface

The config group interface includes the following components:

Create config group

You can create config groups. When creating a config group, default values ​​are automatically assigned, so you do not need to specify settings separately.

To create a config group:

1. From the NAVER Cloud Platform console's VPC environment, navigate to > Services > Big Data & Analytics > Cloud Data Streaming Service > Config Group.
2. Click [Create config group].
3. When the Create config group window appears, enter the required information.
   
   • Version: Select the Kafka version of the config group you want to create.
   • Config Group Name: Enter a name for the config group.
     • Only English lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens (-) are allowed. Neither the first nor last character may be a hyphen (-).
     • Names must be between 3 and 30 characters.
   • Description: Write a brief description of the config group.
4. Click [OK].
5. Check that the config group has been created.

Edit config group

Since default values ​​are applied to config when creating a cluster, users do not need to specify config values ​​separately. However, if you need to change the Kafka config settings, you can do so directly using the Config Group editing feature. Only alter the config group if you have basic knowledge of Kafka, as the cluster may not operate properly if the user arbitrarily changes the Kafka config settings.

To edit a config group:

1. From the NAVER Cloud Platform console's VPC environment, navigate to > Services > Big Data & Analytics > Cloud Data Streaming Service > Config Group.
2. Click the checkbox of the config group you want to edit, then click [Edit config].
   • Settings that can be changed will appear in the Kafka configuration file (Serverproperties).
3. Change the Kafka config settings.
   • See Apache Kafka Documentation for descriptions of the configuration values.
4. To reset the config to the default values, click [Reset to default].
5. Once you've finished editing the config, click [OK].
   

Apply a config group to a cluster

To apply a config group to a cluster:

1. From the NAVER Cloud Platform console's VPC environment, navigate to > Services > Big Data & Analytics > Cloud Data Streaming Service > Cluster.
2. In the Details component of​the cluster to which you want to apply the config group, click the config group icon.
   
3. When the Change config group window appears, select the config group you want to apply and click [OK].
   
4. When the Config group change confirmation window appears, click [OK].
   • After the changes in the config group are applied to the cluster, the cluster will restart.

Delete config group

You can delete config groups that are no longer in use. However, a config group is being used by a cluster cannot be deleted. You must delete the cluster that is using the config group or change the config group of the cluster to delete the config group.

To delete a config group:

1. From the NAVER Cloud Platform console's VPC environment, navigate to > Services > Big Data & Analytics > Cloud Data Streaming Service > Config Group.
2. Click the checkbox of the config group you want to delete, then click [Delete].
