Question
Kafka externalization setup/configuration
1) Started Zookeeper & Kafka Service in one server
2) Created Kafka Instance and test connectivity is Good
3) Created DataSets ( Connectivity is good & Verify Topics )
These Are all good.
Now
As per the Pega documentation, I configured below given settings in the prconfig.xml $ removed the Stream node type.
However, the server is not coming up. Has anyone faced this issue or have any clues?"
<env name="services/stream/provider" value="ExternalKafka"/>
<env name="services/stream/broker/url" value=" Proprietary information hidden:9092"/>
<env name="services/stream/external/replication/factor" value="1"/>
<env name="services/stream/encryption/security/protocol" value="PLAINTEXT"/>
<env name="services/stream/encryption/sasl/mechanism" value="PLAIN"/>
<env name="services/stream/name/pattern" value="CRM-test-{stream.name}"/>

@NATESHG1 You have correctly set up ZooKeeper and Kafka, created the Kafka instance, and verified connectivity and topics, which is good. The issue started after you updated the prconfig.xml for external Kafka configuration and removed the Stream node type. If the Pega server is not starting, it could be because of incorrect Kafka settings or a missing dependency. Please make sure the Kafka broker URL is correct and reachable. Since you are using PLAINTEXT, the SASL mechanism setting may not be required—try removing it. Also, double-check the syntax in your XML file to make sure there are no typos. Look into the Pega server logs for any errors that can guide you to the exact issue. Make sure there are no leftover stream node references in the system. Restart the Pega server after making each change to see if it resolves the issue.
