Redpanda Console Configuration
Configuration sources
Redpanda Console loads configuration properties from three sources, with the following order of precedence:
-
Environment variables
-
YAML configuration
-
Command line arguments (flags) This means that environment variables and YAML configurations can overwrite input that is set on the command line.
YAML configuration
The recommended configuration source is a YAML file. Specify the path to the file by either setting
the -config.filepath
flag or setting the CONFIG_FILEPATH
environment variable.
A reference YAML configuration file is provided under Sample configuration.
Environment variables
Configuration options can be configured using environment variables. The key for the environment variable is auto-generated by converting the YAML equivalent to uppercase and adding an underscore for each indentation level. For example:
-
kafka.rackId => KAFKA_RACKID
-
kafka.tls.caFilepath => KAFKA_TLS_CAFILEPATH
For configuration properties that expect a list of values, use commas between each value. For example:
-
KAFKA_BROKERS=redpanda-0:9092,redpanda-1:9092,redpanda-2:9092
You cannot use environment variables to configure object arrays, such as the configuration for Kafka connect clusters. In this case, use a YAML file, and provide secrets using environment variables or command line arguments. |
Sample configuration
The following config.yaml
configuration file contains a complete list of all Console configuration properties and their descriptions. All values are default values.
Provide the filepath to your configuration file by setting either the flag
-config.filepath
or the environment variable CONFIG_FILEPATH
.
This configuration file contains both Redpanda Enterprise and Redpanda Community configurations. If you don’t provide a Redpanda Enterprise license, Console ignores configurations for Redpanda Enterprise features. |
