1. Choose an enviroment

Scope the inital enviroment where you want to submit/remove the replicator jobs. For the example below we consider the dev enviroment

2. Run ansible playbook for adding/deleting the connectors.

Create a playbook which uses the ansible-role-confluent-connectors

Examples

• myenv should be passed an extra variable to ansible-playbook
• hostlist should be passed an extra variable to ansible-playbook

HOW TO RUN:

CONFLUENT DEV CONNECT: ansible-playbook -i confluent_connect_inventory -kK -e hostlist="dev" -e myenv="dev" confluent_connectors.yml

CONFLUENT PROD CONNECT:

ansible-playbook -i confluent_connect_inventory  -kK -e hostlist="prod" -e myenv="prod" confluent_connectors.yml

where localinventory is a custom inventory with connect nodes.

- hosts: "{{ hostlist }}"
  become: yes
  gather_facts: yes 
  run_once: yes
  vars:
    env_name: "{{ myenv }}"
  roles:
    - sionsmith.confluent_connectors

Run below command which takes care of adding/removing the replicators based on available json payload files in ansible-role-confluent-connectors/files/dev/ location for dev

ansible-playbook -i localinventory -kK -e hostlist="dev" -e myenv="dev" example.yml

This will take care of connecting to one of the available connect node and manages the replicators.

Please note that above steps manages the jobs which have been defined in location ansible-role-confluent-connectors/files/<env_name>/

Where localinventory file will look like below.

[dev]
connect0.dev.local
connect1.dev.local
