Using Config Files

Learn how to use the configuration file of Kafkorama Gateway.

One way to configure Kafkorama Gateway is by using the kafkorama-gateway.conf config file, found in the root of the tarball installation or in /etc/kafkorama-gateway/ when installed via DEB/RPM packages.

This config file includes required and optional parameters. Optional parameters have default values and can be omitted. If not set, their default values will be used automatically.

Note

Environment variables offer a way to override or extend configuration parameters — useful especially in Docker or Kubernetes setups, where editing files inside containers is not ideal. See Using System Variables for details.

The config file supports comments. Lines starting with # are ignored. Parameters follow the format:

parameter = value

Multi-line values can be written by ending each line with a backslash (\). For example:

LicenseKey = aaaa\
             bbbb\
             cccc

The configurable parameters are detailed in the sections Core Parameters and Advanced Parameters.
