Hi All, 

We are trying to discover Apache Kafka and Apache Zookeeper, As per the ServiceNow document we should able to discover below class table information as part of this discover.  

cmdb_ci_appl_kafka_connect
cmdb_ci_appl_kafka_topic  -- Not able to discovery. 
cmdb_ci_appl_zoo_keeper
cmdb_ci_kafka_cluster
cmdb_ci_kafka_cluster_node
cmdb_ci_zoo_keeper_cluster
cmdb_ci_zoo_keeper_cluster_node

But we are not able to discovery any information/data in this class table [cmdb_ci_appl_kafka_topic ]. Can you please guide me, Whether I am missing any configuration settings. 

Thanks in advance. 

Anitha.

Try to run above Pattern for Kafka Topic in Debug Mode. Let us know how it goes.

Hi RP, 

Thanks for the response. Apologies for the delay response. 

I do see only two sections in the Pattern ( set topic and set name). when i try to run in debug mode, its asking for below information

Mid Server

Entry point of KafkaBroker

Host ID

Port

After running i cant see any results for the same. ?  Earlier i was missing "Service Mapping" under the Supported Application in the MID Server. After adding, i ran all the Kafka Broker IP's. But still i dont see any information loaded in the Kafka Topic table. Please guide me to discover those information.

Thanks,

Anitha.

Hi Anitha,

OOB cmdb_ci_appl_kafka_topic is configured to populate only during top down [service mapping] discovery. So are you running horizontal or top down discovery?

Hi SiD,

Thanks for the response. Apologies for the delay response. 

After seeing your message i have added the missing "Service Mapping" entry in Supported Application. I have re-ran the discovery for all Kafka Broker inventory list...but still Kafka Topic has no records. Please guide me if i am missing any configuration.

Thanks 

Anitha.
