Install Kafka Manager with Puppet

Hi,

I will continue on this line with the install of a management tool called Kafka manager using same old Puppet.

The main source of the project is here:

https://github.com/yahoo/kafka-manager

If you scroll down at packaging you will see that you have the possibility to create a .deb package for Ubuntu or Debian setup or a rpm. To do this just clone the project, go into it and run the command

sbt debian:packageBin

It will take some time but eventually it will create the required package. Now, since you have the package, you can easily ask a friend to upload it to your pipeline apt repo (this is what i did, i don’t have yet the experience on how to do that) and install and configure it via puppet. In order to do that, i “wrote” the following manifest:

kafkamanager.pp

class profiles::kafkamanager {
	
	$zookeeper_connect = hiera('kafkamanager::zookeeperconnect')
	package {'kafka-manager':
		ensure => installed,
	}
	group { 'kafka-manager':
		ensure => 'present',	
	}
	user { 'kafka-manager':
		ensure => 'present',
		groups => 'kafka-manager'
	}
	
	Group['kafka-manager'] -> User['kafka-manager']
	
	file { '/usr/share/kafka-manager' :
    		ensure    => directory,
    		owner     => 'kafka-manager',
    		group      => 'kafka-manager',
    		require     => [ User['kafka-manager'], Group['kafka-manager'], ],
    		recurse    => true,
	}

	file_line { 'config_zookeeper':
	    path => '/etc/kafka-manager/application.conf',
	    match => 'kafka-manager.zkhosts=\"kafka-manager-zookeeper:2181\"',
	    line => "kafka-manager.zkhosts=\"${zookeeper_connect}\"",
	    replace => true,
	}
    
    file_line { 'enable_auth':
        path => '/etc/kafka-manager/application.conf',
        match => 'basicAuthentication.enabled=false',
        line => 'basicAuthentication.enabled=true',
        replace => true,
        }
	service { 'kafka-manager':
		ensure => 'running',
		enable => true,
		require => [ File['/usr/share/kafka-manager'], File_line['config_zookeeper'] ],	
	}
}

This should be all, you are now free to login with the user and pass that you find in the application.conf file and start mapping Kafka clusters.

Cheers!
