Kafka: 6. Change the configuration

This documentation is part of the Automate with the CLI guide. You can view the complete guide here: Start Kafka, retrieve its credentials, and modify its configuration programmatically using the Stackhero CLI.

👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

Stackhero makes it easy to set up a fully managed Kafka cloud solution. Here’s what you can expect:

• Unlimited message size and transfers to support your data growth.
• Effortless updates—apply the latest improvements with a single click.
• High-level performance and enhanced security, all powered by your own private, dedicated VM.

If you want to save time and streamline your operations, try Stackhero’s Kafka cloud hosting. You can get started in about 5 minutes!

You can review an example configuration schema and then apply your own settings. When you update the configuration, the service may restart to apply the changes.

# View the configuration schema and an example for your service
stackhero service-configuration-example --service=svc-xxxxxx

# Apply a custom configuration (the service restarts if needed)
stackhero service-configuration-set \
  --service=svc-xxxxxx \
  --configuration='{ "...": "..." }'

# Wait for the new configuration to be applied
stackhero service-wait-for --service=svc-xxxxxx

That's it. You have now seen the full lifecycle: start a service, retrieve its credentials, and reconfigure it, all in a scriptable, automated way. To learn more, refer to the full CLI documentation, which also covers the non-interactive STACKHERO_TOKEN authentication demonstrated here.
