How is Kafka setup for Pega 8.7.2?

Hi,

Is there a document or page which shows how Kafka works on Pega v8.7.2? Does the setup come in-built? or do we have to setup Kafka externally? If we decide to setup externally, how to configure it? I can see there’s a Kafka rule under SysAdmin category. But you can create more than one config there, how do we setup in a way that we can decide what needs to use what Kafka setup e.g. OOTB and custom Queue Processors.
