Apache Kafka ConnectorRestart

Apache Kafka ConnectorRestart

Certified

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.

yaml
type: io.kestra.plugin.kafka.ConnectorRestart

Restart only the failed tasks of a connector

yaml
id: kafka_connector_restart
namespace: company.team

tasks:
  - id: restart_connector
    type: io.kestra.plugin.kafka.ConnectorRestart
    connectUrl: http://connect:8083
    connectorName: orders_jdbc_sink
    includeTasks: true
    onlyFailed: true
Properties

Kafka Connect REST API base URL

For example http://connect: 8083. Kafka Connect has no dedicated Java admin client — every operation goes through this REST API.

Connector name

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.

Definitions

Possible Values
IGNOREFAILWARN

Asset 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.

enableAutobooleanstring

Whether to auto-register assets referenced dynamically at runtime that are not statically declared in inputs or outputs.

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 ....

Defaultfalse

Also restart the connector's tasks

Defaults to false, which restarts only the connector instance.

Defaultfalse

Restrict the restart to failed tasks only

Only applied when includeTasks is true. Defaults to false.

Basic auth password

Basic auth username

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.

Connector name

Whether tasks were included in the restart

Whether the restart was restricted to failed tasks
