Thanks Brian. I applied the following command with --all, it works fine. kafka-configs --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --entity-type brokers --entity-name 1 --describe --all.
I believe this includes *both* default config values as well as config values those were overridden . Is there any command if i wanted to query only the overridden values and the rest will be default values On Fri, Jun 12, 2020 at 7:58 PM Brian Byrne <bby...@confluent.io> wrote: > Hi Nag, > > To address (2) first, the --entity-default flag requests the default > configuration that all brokers inherit.
