Can we have a VIP for kafka and zookeeper servers?

[#1]

Hi,

I have created two different vip's for kafka brokers and zookeeper servers. How do i test if the VIP's are working? Does this work?

[#2 · Accepted solution]

Well, can you issue "kafka-topics --zookeeper $ZK_VIP" or "kafka-console-producer --bootstrap-server $KAFKA_VIP" commands without error?

Yes @Jordan Moore i can use them. But i was actually trying to test it with HTTP (wget). Not sure if it can be tested!

@Rajesh Reddy - No, wget only tests HTTP/S connections. Not plain TCP that Kafka and Zookeeper are using

@Jordan thanks for the info.
