Update a Kafka Connect connector's configuration

Replaces the entire configuration of an existing connector, restarting its tasks with the new config. Connect creates the connector if it doesn't already exist. Fails with the API's error body verbatim if config fails the connector plugin's own validation.

Properties

Connector configuration

Replaces the connector's entire configuration; must include connector.class and any property required by that connector plugin.

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

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 ....

Basic auth password

Reference (ref) of the pluginDefaults to apply to this task.

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.
