--- title: Redpanda Connector | OpenMetadata Messaging Services slug: /connectors/messaging/redpanda --- {% connectorDetailsHeader name="Redpanda" stage="PROD" platform="OpenMetadata" availableFeatures=["Topics", "Sample Data"] unavailableFeatures=[] / %} In this section, we provide guides and references to use the Redpanda connector. Configure and schedule Redpanda metadata and profiler workflows from the OpenMetadata UI: - [Requirements](#requirements) - [Metadata Ingestion](#metadata-ingestion) - [Troubleshooting](/connectors/messaging/redpanda/troubleshooting) {% partial file="/v1.7/connectors/ingestion-modes-tiles.md" variables={yamlPath: "/connectors/messaging/redpanda/yaml"} /%} ## Requirements Connecting to Redpanda does not require any previous configuration. The ingestion of the Kafka topics' schema is done separately by configuring the **Schema Registry URL**. However, only the **Bootstrap Servers** information is mandatory. ## Metadata Ingestion {% partial file="/v1.7/connectors/metadata-ingestion-ui.md" variables={ connector: "Redpanda", selectServicePath: "/images/v1.7/connectors/redpanda/select-service.png", addNewServicePath: "/images/v1.7/connectors/redpanda/add-new-service.png", serviceConnectionPath: "/images/v1.7/connectors/redpanda/service-connection.png", } /%} {% stepsContainer %} {% extraContent parentTagName="stepsContainer" %} #### Connection Details - **Bootstrap Servers**: List of brokers as comma separated values of broker `host` or `host:port`. Example: `host1:9092,host2:9092` - **Schema Registry URL**: URL of the Schema Registry used to ingest the schemas of the topics. - **SASL Username**: SASL username for use with the PLAIN and SASL-SCRAM mechanisms. - **SASL Password**: SASL password for use with the PLAIN and SASL-SCRAM mechanisms. - **SASL Mechanism**: SASL mechanism to use for authentication. - **Basic Auth User Info**: Schema Registry Client HTTP credentials in the form of `username:password`. By default, user info is extracted from the URL if present. - **Consumer Config**: The accepted additional values for the consumer configuration can be found in the following [link](https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka/blob/master/CONFIGURATION.md). - **Schema Registry Config**: The accepted additional values for the Schema Registry configuration can be found in the following [link](https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/clients/confluent-kafka-python/html/index.html#schemaregistryclient). {% note %} To ingest the topic schema `Schema Registry URL` must be passed {% /note %} {% /extraContent %} {% partial file="/v1.7/connectors/test-connection.md" /%} {% partial file="/v1.7/connectors/messaging/configure-ingestion.md" /%} {% partial file="/v1.7/connectors/ingestion-schedule-and-deploy.md" /%} {% /stepsContainer %}
