Kafka

Open Kafka from Databases

Go to Databases and click Kafka. The Add a Kafka database pop-up opens.

Enter the connection details

Fill in the following fields:

• Custom Name: A name to identify this connection in Fyno Connect.

• Kafka Brokers: The addresses of your Kafka brokers in host:port format. Separate multiple brokers with commas.

• Kafka Topic: The topic Fyno consumes messages from.

• Use SSL: Enter true if your brokers require an SSL connection, otherwise false.

• SASL: Your SASL authentication settings as a JSON object, including the mechanism, username and password. Leave this blank if your brokers do not use SASL.

  {
    "mechanism": "plain",
    "username": "your-username",
    "password": "your-password"
  }

• Fyno Workflow Endpoint: The endpoint of the Fyno workflow to trigger for each message.

• Automation ID: The ID of the workflow to trigger.

• API Key: The Fyno API key used to call the workflow.

All fields except Custom Name are masked by default. Click the eye icon on a field to view its value.

Add the database

Click Add Database. Fyno tests the connection and saves it once the test succeeds. The connection then appears under Connected DBs on the same page.

Trigger the workflow

Fyno now consumes messages from the topic and triggers the workflow you specified for each message, passing the message as the workflow input.
