To view the latest available version of the docs, see v24.2. rpk cluster config set Set a single cluster configuration property. This command is provided for use in scripts. For interactive editing, or bulk changes, use the edit and import commands respectively. If an empty string is given as the value, the property is reset to its default. Usage rpk cluster config set <key> <value> [flags] Flags Value Type Description -h, --help - Help for set. --all - Include all properties, including tunables. --config string Redpanda or rpk config file; default search paths are ~/.config/rpk/rpk.yaml, $PWD, and /etc/redpanda/redpanda.yaml. -X, --config-opt stringArray Override rpk configuration settings; '-X help' for detail or '-X list' for terser detail. --profile string rpk profile to use. -v, --verbose - Enable verbose logging. Setting properties to non-number values (such as setting string values with -) can be problematic for some terminals due to how POSIX flags are parsed. For example, the following command may not work from some terminals: rpk cluster config set delete_retention_ms -1 Workaround: Use -- to disable parsing for all subsequent characters. For example: rpk cluster config set -- delete_retention_ms -1 Back to top × Simple online edits For simple changes, such as fixing a typo, you can edit the content directly on GitHub.
