## Request apps on the Store {#kafka-consumer__section_sz5_jv3_z3b}

Visit the [ServiceNow Store](https://store.servicenow.com/sn_appstore_store.do#!/store/home) website to view all the available apps and for information about submitting requests to the store. For cumulative release notes information for all released apps, see the [ServiceNow Store version history release notes](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/r/store-release-notes/sn-store-release-notes.html).{#kafka-consumer__inline-send-to-store}

## Integration Hub subscription {#kafka-consumer__section_wdv_rfd_v4b}

This spoke requires an Integration Hub subscription. For more information, see [Legal schedules - IntegrationHub overview](https://www.servicenow.com/content/dam/servicenow-assets/public/en-us/doc-type/legal/snc-addendum-integrationhub.pdf).

## Supported versions {#kafka-consumer__section_xdv_rfd_v4b}

This spoke was built for Confluent REST Proxy API v2.

## Spoke dependencies {#kafka-consumer__section_c2v_rfd_v4b}

If you're having trouble installing the app, ensure that these dependent plugins are installed:

* [Confluent Kafka REST Proxy Spoke](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/jJcjTOWqrIw6ypROwHJWLA "Integrates your ServiceNow instances with the Kafka cluster through Confluent Kafka REST Proxy API.")
* ServiceNow IntegrationHub Runtime (com.glide.hub.integration.runtime)
* ServiceNow IntegrationHub Action Step - RTE (com.glide.hub.action_step.rte)
{#kafka-consumer__ul_d2v_rfd_v4b}  
Note:  
Some of these plugins are licensable features and require appropriate licenses, if used outside the spoke implementation.

## Connection and credential alias requirements {#kafka-consumer__section_p2v_rfd_v4b}

Integration Hub uses aliases to manage connection
and credential information. Using an alias eliminates the need to configure multiple
credentials and connection information profiles when using multiple environments. If the
connection or credential information changes, you don't need to update any actions that
use the connection. For more information, see [Connections and Credentials](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=r-credentials&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-platform-security&ft:locale=en-US).

ServiceNow Kafka Consumer uses the connection and credential alias of
the [Confluent Kafka REST Proxy Spoke](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/jJcjTOWqrIw6ypROwHJWLA "Integrates your ServiceNow instances with the Kafka cluster through Confluent Kafka REST Proxy API.").
