Hi,  
I am configuring a data set to read from a kafka topic using avro schema. I’m on version 8.8 so it’s supported.

I can’t figure out how to configure the schema registry.

What should I enter in the URL field? Can someone kindly give me some explanation?

Thanks in advance

@NicolaG10 Hi while using AVRO respective Kafka server needs to know a registry of schema to register and pass the message as per the schema definition. you have to give the Kafka schema registry port number. it varies as per the Kafka vendor and distribution.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I was given the server address by the Kafka vendor and it worked.

@NicolaG10 Hi, is the SSL protocol mandatory for you in PROD for the kafka Registry URL?

Does anyone know how can we configure SSL for Schema registry endpoints?

@NicolaG10

Hi, I am also lacking the knowledge and understanding about the possible information that I need to pass in the URL. Can you please elaborate here how did you solve this?
