Apache Kafka ConnectorRestart
Restart a Kafka Connect connector
By default restarts only the connector instance itself, leaving its tasks untouched. Set includeTasks: true to also restart its tasks, and onlyFailed: true to restrict the restart to failed tasks only.

connectorName *string
Connector name
assets
Assets this task consumes as inputs or produces as outputs, for lineage tracking and the asset graph (Enterprise Edition). A flow declaring this property on a task is rejected in the open-source edition.
io.kestra.core.models.assets.AssetsDeclaration
IGNOREFAILWARNAsset failure behavior
Behavior applied to the task state when a declared asset fails to render, emit, or be persisted (e.g. a lock conflict): FAIL escalates it to FAILED, WARN (default) warns it if it would otherwise succeed, IGNORE leaves the state untouched.
Whether to auto-register assets referenced dynamically at runtime that are not statically declared in inputs or outputs.
The assets consumed as inputs.

Additional HTTP headers
Sent on every request to the Connect REST API. Useful when the worker sits behind a reverse proxy or expects a bearer token, e.g. Authorization: Bearer ....
includeTasks booleanstring

Defaults to false, which restarts only the connector instance.
onlyFailed booleanstring
falseRestrict the restart to failed tasks only
Only applied when includeTasks is true. Defaults to false.
password string

Required together with password when the Connect REST API is protected with HTTP basic auth. Leave both unset to call an unauthenticated worker — no Authorization header is sent in that case.
Outputs

Connector name
includeTasks boolean
Whether tasks were included in the restart
onlyFailed boolean
Whether the restart was restricted to failed tasks
