Hello kafka community, Same with: ./bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --all-groups -describe --bootstrap-server= 169.254.212.189:9092 [2020-07-04 15:53:32,090] WARN [AdminClient clientId=adminclient-1] Connection to node 1 (localhost/127.0.0.1:9092) could not be established. Broker may not be available. (org.apache.kafka.clients.NetworkClient)
It is true that 169.254 addresses are link-local but they are not the same machine, it is another machine linked through a thunderbolt cable. Even kafkacat tries to connect to localhost. Why would all the tools attempt localhost instead of indicated 169.254 IP?
