This chapter describes the configuration of the Kafka cluster timebased data store. The topics are configured in the Topics subnode, see chapter Configuration of topics.
General
Locked
You can lock a data store in order to prevent an accidental or unauthorized change of settings.
Active
Activate the data storage in order to record data. However, you can configure various data stores and disable data stores that are not required.
Data store index
Unique index of all existing Kafka cluster data stores. You need to reference this index e.g. in the virtual function DataStoreInfoKafka() for generating diagnostic data for a specific Kafka cluster data store.
Data store name
You can enter a name for the data store here.
Identifier
The identifier is a text-based value that can be included in the datasets written in the cluster. For the subsequent processing of data, this value may be useful for distinguishing between several ibaPDA systems that write into the same cluster.
Connection
Library Version
Display of the library version contained in ibaPDA (only for information). ibaPDA uses the open-source library librdkafka.
