Specifying Kafka Scheduler Options

 

Type ./kafka_scheduler <Option_Name>.

Option Name

Description

update

Updates the scheduler

start

Starts the scheduler and begins copying data from all registered Kafka brokers

stop

Stops the scheduler and ends copying data from all registered Kafka brokers

delete

Deletes all registered Kafka instances from the scheduler.

This operation will cause the ArcSight database to discard Kafka topic offsets. When the scheduler is created again, it will start reading data added to the topic after the scheduler creation, instead of at the old offset, which is likely to result in some data on the topic being skipped.

status

Prints the following information and log status for a running or stopped scheduler:

  • Current Kafka cluster assigned to the scheduler
  • Name and ArcSight database host where the active scheduler is running
  • Name, ArcSight database host, and process ID of every running scheduler (active or backup)
events

Prints event copy progress for the scheduler

messages Prints scheduler messages
