Hi Nag, To address (2) first, the --entity-default flag requests the default configuration that all brokers inherit. An individual broker may override any of the default config's entries, which is done by specifying the broker ID to the --entity-name flag.
The reason you're getting blank output for --entity-default is because all entries in the config are using their default values. If you wish to see all config entries, you can pass flag --all which is included in the 2.5 release (KIP-524: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-524%3A+Allow+users+to+choose+config+source+when+describing+configs ). Please let me know if you have any other questions, Brian On Fri, Jun 12, 2020 at 5:18 AM Nag Y <andriod.nag.u...@gmail.com> wrote: > I applied kafka-config to get the default settings for the brokers, > > kafka-configs --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --entity-type brokers > --entity-default --describe > > The command responded with the following response, without any *complete* > output. > > Default configs for brokers in the cluster are: > > > 1.
