rpk topic alter-config

Set, delete, add, and remove key/value configs for a topic.

This command allows you to incrementally alter the configuration for multiple topics at a time.

Incremental altering supports four operations:

  1. Setting a key=value pair
  2. Deleting a key's value
  3. Appending a new value to a list-of-values key
  4. Subtracting (removing) an existing value from a list-of-values key

The --dry option will validate whether the requested configuration change is valid, but does not apply it.

Usage

rpk topic alter-config [TOPICS...] --set key=value --delete key2,key3 [flags]
