To install Kafka Manager, follow the steps:
-
Add the Helm stable repository by running the following command.

Obtain the Kafka and Zookeeper endpoints and ensure they are ready for use during deployment.
Info: Ensure you have the Zookeeper host, port and the desired Kafka version.
-
Deploy Kafka manager based on your requirements by updating the variables.
Set the required variables (such as
basicAuth.password
,basicAuth.username
andzkHosts
) as needed:helm --namespace kafka-manager install kafka-manager --create-namespace --set basicAuth.password="hello2password" --set basicAuth.username="admin" --set basicAuth.enabled=true --set clusters[0].name="default_cluster" --set clusters[0].zkHosts="kafka-zookeeper.mdsp-bk-kafka:2181" --set clusters[0].kafkaVersion="2.0.0" --set service.type=NodePort --set service.managerNodePort=30088
